Great question! I imagine that gravity would be weird so perhaps there would be floating islands or extreme weather patterns that would block the sun for extended periods of time to make it night. Only limited to what the author can come up with. I feel like night and day is an important concept to keep because it would be so alien to have humanoids not sleep at night, you know? What do you think? 🤔
@@authorquest orbits about the star would be the same in general. Fun fact, a hollow spherical shell exerts a net zero gravitational pull on everything inside of it. the only thing you could have keeping your feet on the “ground” if you’re on the inside would be from the sphere spinning, and even then it would have to spin faster than your orbital velocity at that point. I think living inside of the structure of the sphere much more practical. For day/night, I imagine any species advanced enough to build a Dyson sphere would have removed all significant obstacles. The whole idea of why one would build a Dyson sphere is to fully capitalize on the energy it is outputting, and anything obstructing that light is just wasting energy. That said, I’m just nitpicky because I study physics. If the technicalities inspire your creativity as it does mine, wonderful! If it becomes more of an obstacle to you, ignore it. You’d lean more towards the fantasy side than the science side, but that’s not a bad thing, either.
There wouldn't be any natural cycles of day/night. So the answer depends on the technological answer built for the particular dyson sphere. The simplest solution would just having giant plates in the sky to orbit the star.
Oh man, like AI a huge danger of mixing tropes is becoming cliché, or feeling, hm, we've seen this before. What's totally missing is philosophy, depth, meaning. Just feel how different it feels when put like: In a world where the poor have no value, a rising number of deaths among them barely lifts eyebrows among the immortals. Their arrogance even hinders solving the issue. When an immortal does fall in love with an unseen, she can't believe he loves her for anything but her looks. He family pushes her to persue the love, for income and safety to be gotten through favours from above. She forgets all that when her sister gets killed, and she pushes the immortal to prove his love by solving all the deaths. Through this monster hunt he learns of the deadly inequalities that stifle both unseen and immortal culture. Etc. Now it starts to get meat and meaning.
I like it! But do you see how using archetypes you can take what I had and go the next step and add in your edits? It can be incredibly difficult to come up with something original from scratch. But if you start with something familiar and spin it or dive deeper into different details you can make something truly amazing. Working on something as a whole is way easier than flying by the seat of your pants and hoping you get somewhere soon.
@@authorquest Thanks for answering in depth. I very much agree upon starting with cliche and adding depth from there. Not through just working to an epic finale fight (why the latest miss marvel failed), but to a real underneath nuanced tension that seems hard to solve, and then finding a way out that we can believe in.
I appreciate the feedback! Tell you what I’ll make you a deal. If I change the thumbnail to be less click baity and then you feature Author Quest on your channel. Deal?
The side effect of making this video is now I keep thinking of ideas for the story even though I came up with it on the fly 😂
Very Nice recourses! Crime that your channel is small--but hey! IT will grow, keep pumping this stuff out!
Thanks Benji!! Will do I hope you found the video useful!
Nailed it Bro! I do indeed want you to write this story…or maybe we write it together?!?!…😮
😎 Challenge accepted!
What are day/night supposed to even mean for a Dyson sphere?

I was really hoping someone would ask that I’ve been thinking about it for days 😂

This is really awesome but it's disappointing that you used another authors face as clickbait to do it 😕

@authorquest2067 heck yeah I will! We could each feature a video and then collaborate?
I like it! DM me on twitter and we can work out the details
