What if Russian launch 100 megaton nuclear torpedo to make nuclear terminator tsunami to hit UK ,1. Would anybodys survive the killer .2. would UK be safe to regrow life again. 3. How long would it take to remove all the nuclear material from UK ?
I feel like these scenarios are just made by scientists smoking weed for the first time 😭😭😭 these scenarios are always so unique and thought provoking I love it lol
I like this video, but I thought of a serious downside. If humanity used all of the Sun's energy, there wouldn't be any left to power photosynthesis. As a result, all life on land and in the photic zone of the oceans would die out. Infinite energy vs the worst extinction event in Earth's history. Not a good trade-off, in my opinion. 😓
I think the kicker would probably for that would be for us to be understand and to be able to create the process which is happening in chlorophyll to be able to create something that can produce food on a scale that we can engineer to the T would be next level stuff to be able to grow our food from nothing and not have to rely so much as germinating or trying to produce something out of but we have only available
I've also thought about solar panels using up Sun's energy quicker, but luckily, we have enough to still have it lasting for like several billions of years or so.
A Dyson sphere around the sun is impossible because it would be dynamically unstable because each part of it would have to have different orbital velocities. A Dyson swarm, however, would be possible. Even a Dyson swarm would not be able to intercept ALL of sun's light.
If some of the sun energy is lost and reflected because of earths atmosphere I think that a good step to that direction would be to put up some solar panels on the L1 lagrange point. Still, we had to think about how we would deal with the radiation being send back to earth without being fried.
I mean, you could use some kind of energy absorbtion unit on every section on the Dyson Sphere that can transport the energy through space, or two energy converters that can change the sun's energy into electricity instantaneously, then through super durable massive wires that connect to the Dyson Sphere, send them to an absorber region of the Earth to bring the energy to all plants that can take it. (Each one COULD be distributed evenly)

Thank you for sharing your amazing ideas with us! 🙂 In the meantime, this might interest you as it was similar to one of your ideas: ua-cam.com/video/jpaHRQl6wG0/v-deo.html
A question I have wondered, does this only work because of how large the sun is? Or could you build a dyson swarm/sphere around an artificial sun? We are still awhile away from fully being able to sustain one permanently but that could be an interesting workaround!
@@rivenoak does it really? Harnessing the suns energy will provide magnitudes of times greater energy than any fusion energy we can produce. A Dyson sphere is probably going to be a big milestone in humanity similar to the moon landing
To completely surround the sun with a habitable sphere that we could live on and that would also allow us to harvest nearly 100% of the sun's output was proposed a long time ago by a scientist named Dyson. Thus the name for such a structure, the Dyson Sphere.
@@epicflawlessgamingxx606 Actually, the sun would shrink first, then go nova and expand into a red giant out to the orbit of Mars. The Dyson sphere wouldn't be able to contain the expanding red giant. Plus, it would be a looooooooong time before the sun burned out, going through many phases before burning out. Suns/stars measure their lifetimes in BILLIONS of years.
The writer/s did their job well done.. Great imagination and vision, very well appreciated.. Salary increase is waving 💯 These would be very helpful to the earth if made..
Everytime i watch videos from this channel i learn something new everyday!! Thank you What if. U made me learn so much!!! I will always support u!! Love from the philippines😊❤️❤️❤️❤️
theres a problem with that, there are still some things like plants that need direct sunlight, and blocking out most of the sun, would be detrimental to life on earth. though solar panels sounds like it would work. it really wouldnt.
I was thinking the same thing, you can't block out the light with the solar panels, otherwise earth turns into an ice cube. Put the solar panels far out in earth orbit so they don't block the sun, still have the problem of transmitting that collected energy to earth
Just amazing how every time anew you think of such a great video. And the fact that you speak enthusiastically is really interesting in the video. Continue like this, your channel is excellent 👍👍👍
Wouldn't it be more "practical" (in terms of materials and travel costs) to go to Mercury, build a factory there and use the planet's minerals to build the solar panels to send around the Sun?
@@DVinod-oz8np Like stated in the video, maybe. Or by building highly advanced batteries to send to earth. Mercury can be used to build and send the solar panels around the Sun, it has smaller gravity than Earth, no atmosphere and it's mostly made of metals, so it would be a huge cut on the costs compared to building sending stuff from Earth I think.
@@tusarosnow9858 Orbital habitats closer to the sun. With proper shielding, they can be protected from the harsh star. So no, I'm not joking. We can do it.
This gives me an idea. If not all of the Sun's energy reaches the solar panel farms on Earth, because of the reflections, why not we just try to put them in Earth's orbit, but far enough to the point where the Sun's energy does not start reflecting off the Earth.
Placing so many solar panels around the Sun would reduce its temperature so the consequences would cause the Earth's temperature to cool down enough to trigger an ice age. That is not a good idea since it would destroy all life on Earth.
Pyramids can be act both as antina and powerplant which will receive and supply electricity and if i am not mistaken Some scientists have already developed wireless electricity transmission possible in a small area though!
I am trying to understand how they are classifying civilization types, when we are the only known civilization "type" in existence. It's like we invent words and classifications for no reason other than to sound smarter than what we actually are.
Why are we trying to get the power back to Earth? If you're making a structure around the Sun, then you might as well just house everyone on it. It will have a much larger surface area than Earth with that diameter, which means way more room for our increasing population. With all that energy we wouldn't really need to worry about efficiency at first. You could have all the food and trees and stuff growing on the opposite side, and reflect sun around or even use full spectrum bulbs to provide the light needed for the plants to grow inside the giant structure. Put all the water in panels or pipes on the surface facing the sun to heat everything inside, provide steam power, and block some of the radiation. We could even make giant electromagnets around the structure to block some of the radiation, much like how Earth does. Removing all or most the humans from Earth will let it restore itself a bit and let some of the other animal populations grow, or just mine it to the core and bring everything to the megastructure with us, like an ark. We could try crashing Jupiter into the sun first to make it more dense, and we could feed it more planets periodically to prevent it from collapsing on itself and destroying everything, but that would also mean we would have to find a way to redirect the sun so we can travel to other systems to use them as fuel. So I guess the main concerns are steering the sun, and making sure we have enough water for everyone, the plants, and the animals. We have a ton of water in the oceans we aren't really using, so that could sustain us for a few hundred thousand years while our sun makes the journey between systems. It would be a hard decision to tear apart our solar system and get rid of all the planets at first, but if that's what it takes to ensure the survival of the human race then I'm sure we would do it if we had to. It would seem like less of a big deal once we've done it, and, I mean, there are how many other planets in the universe? So who really cares if we have to sacrifice a few uninhabited planets to survive and travel to another solar system?
Meteorites would be a problem though, since the moon doesn't have an atmosphere there will be no "invisible shield". What if instead we built it around the Earth's orbit moving at the same speed as Earth and far enough to escape our gravity then for it to come back to earth there could be this "drones" that will collect the energy that the SP (solar panels) generated back to earth then repeat
You have to Advance the Battery first that can store energy without aging and more capacity in mini scale without any problems. Then put the solar panels in space rather than in the earth as earth has only limited sunlight. If the batteries were charged in space then harvest them and export them to the earth.
We can create some jobs using human power like riding tandem bikes treadmills stuff like that to create some power I know some people going to say that sounds horrible but it is a clean source of energy and can create jobs for a lot of people

Solar panels on space might be very expensive. And we probably might need to consider rogue planets and asteroids that might collide with them in outer space
What about sunlight which is needed for everything here on the Earth? With some of those represented structures there wouldn't pass enough of it to us. It would be better to place solar panels on Mercury.
@@sandrokostic6008 Well you'd be right, but point is that putting them on mercury because we wouldn't get sunlight in earth isn't necessary. Simply using less solar panels would work
Hello, dumb question here, would surrounding the sun with these solar panels have any negative impact on the amount of sunlight the Earth receives per year? Could this have a negative impact on our agriculture or climate?
Honestly I think this is one of the things that we definitely should do. Maybe not solar panels orbiting the sun but solar power stations. I don’t think the negatives are really that risky. I’m no expert and I’m sure if they did it they’d think of the most effective way possible and it could help humanity out so much
How is a dyson sphere more efficient than just using the moon with it's ultra-thin atmosphere? Wouldn't (hopefully) disturb any balance along the way as well. (Ok, should watch the vdo... Just first thought...)
Here's why this video is impossibly unrealistic.. first off: "We" is collective. That's not where we are now. WE can agree on anything.. secondly: if we can agree, we'd build solar panels across every desert in the world BEFORE we try it in space. Third: solar panels require materials, at this point, material we're taking from Earth - we'd hollow out the planet just for a few space laden solar panels. We need to figure out how to get materials from space and build in space BEFORE we decided what we are going to build.
Tfw I've played Kerbal Space Program since 2014, with mods since 2015, and only now do I realize that I made the little buggers a type 2 civilization just for shits and giggles.
First solve global decision making by making human beings a collective mind - one singular mind. THEN figure out how to get raw materials from space. THEN figure out how to process those materials.. but off planet..
Solar panels bla-bla-bla, spaceships bla-bla, antennas bla-bla-bla... That is just a silly and stupid way to create a Dyson sphere. Here is a list of required stuff to make a Dyson sphere(minimal set): 1) The Sun 2) The Plants
If you *really really* want to maximise our solar power potential, you should FIRST consider increasing our solar panel conversion efficiency to close to 100% from our somewhat pathetic 15-20%. You might think this is an innate assumption when discussing this topic, but it is always better to give the general public a wake up call before diving into the science fiction.
We just sent the James Webb Space Telescope to the L2 Lagrange Point, which will keep it on the shadow side of Earth, away from the Sun. What if we built the proposed Solar Collection Farm at the L1 Lagrange Point, where it can orbit much closer to the Sun, while still matching Earth's orbit? 😗
TYPE 2?! We are, **at best** capable of one day (WELL into a distant, dark, alien future) becoming I type one civilization--let alone a type 2, you big silly dreamer foo'
It doesn't have to completely surround it (or even take all of it's energy, a small fraction is enough to power humanity for millennials) so I bet it'll be fine
Problem is maintaining such mega structure and space is risky. Sun's gravity attract lot of astroids. There are also solar storms which can be an issue. Gravity of mercury and Venus will need whole set of new calculation. And a major setback can cause trillions. Also lack of technology And astronomical travel time from earth.
People are worried about the effects of man on our planet ... putting an energy absorbing belt around the sun in the plane of the solar system would have effects on all the planets that are on or go through the plane. Why would we be so stupid? What would we use all the power for? ... and if we imported it to the Earth we would have to re-radiate it to keep our home planet habitable. Building or moving a planet closer to the sun would seem more sensible when the incident energy is too low to sustain (human) habitability. Preventing solar microwaves hitting and destroying the habitability of the Earth when the magnetosphere decays seems a more pressing problem to me! Perhaps the 'Musk' experiment in trying to habitate Mars will help with information for maintaining habitation of the Earth in the, hopefully distant, future.
Being a scientist myself I know what this thing is called it's called a Dyson Sphere it's basically a bunch of solar panels around the Sun harnessing its power to build one is sci fi right now but in the future it may be possible watch kurdzgagts video.
I think the Kardeshev scale is based on the wrong criteria and could actually lead to the destruction of the world. I think an advanced civilization would be the one that produces zero waste. What do you think, what if? What if we were a zero-waste generating civilization?
this is such a dumbed down version of a dyson sphere... at the point we could build one humans would have solved the "microwave transmission" system entirely and may have found an easier solution to harvesting energy. talk to me like an adult... then start explaining things
why????????????????????????????????????????? just use mirror to collimate and narrow ray to earth then use solar pannel on surface with additional solar ray routing system
what if i want to know about end of universe whare all stars died only . black hole Neutron star white dwarf brown dwarf and iron star remain in 10^1500 years what happened in 1 googolplex year from now I want to know that
Everybody think what happend when we put solar panel around sun Meanwhile me : how we can move the electricity from the solar panel to earth? I mean the distance is very far, It's funny if we use cable
I vote for the invention of fusion power instead. Imagine a portable pocket fusion starter and let your drinking glass of water power up all of your home. Thats nice and clean and endless power.
It is not possible to put solar panels around the sun. The sun is a massive ball of gas and is not a solid surface on which to install solar panels. Additionally, the temperatures and radiation levels near the sun would destroy any material used to make solar panels. However, scientists are looking into ways to harness the energy of the sun through other means, such as building solar power plants in space.

Yeah, the whole "getting it back to Earth" thing has always been my most major problem with the Dyson Sphere concept.
Why not move manufacturing to the ring? Then energy demands in the planet would be negligible compared to at present

I have a question. If we didn’t build the sphere correctly wouldn’t building a sphere possibly block the sun from giving us light/heat?
@Jenna Prieto 😂
Somehow also gotta make your solar panels CME proof.
@@SevenPr1me yea
The other issue would be comets and space debris.
If we end up harnessing the energy of the sun, we can probably have a ton of artificial sunlight.
Seems like a perfect recipe for disaster
First!
A disaster is a disaster when either mistakes occur or an unseen outside factor cause it
A question I have wondered, does this only work because of how large the sun is? Or could you build a dyson swarm/sphere around an artificial sun? We are still awhile away from fully being able to sustain one permanently but that could be an interesting workaround!
if you can sustain an artificial sun you also mastered nuclear fusion in the first place
it renders dyson spheres redundant :)
If you could harness fusion energy you'll get way more power from just that than using solar panels lmao
@@SevenPr1me true, we studied about it in physics. But sustaining it is a big issue
@@rivenoak does it really? Harnessing the suns energy will provide magnitudes of times greater energy than any fusion energy we can produce. A Dyson sphere is probably going to be a big milestone in humanity similar to the moon landing
Artificial Sun like Doctor Octopus’s plan?
To completely surround the sun with a habitable sphere that we could live on and that would also allow us to harvest nearly 100% of the sun's output was proposed a long time ago by a scientist named Dyson. Thus the name for such a structure, the Dyson Sphere.
Until the sun burns out
@@epicflawlessgamingxx606
Actually, the sun would shrink first, then go nova and expand into a red giant out to the orbit of Mars. The Dyson sphere wouldn't be able to contain the expanding red giant.
Plus, it would be a looooooooong time before the sun burned out, going through many phases before burning out.
Suns/stars measure their lifetimes in BILLIONS of years.
Yes, we watched the video where that is literally stated.

theres a problem with that, there are still some things like plants that need direct sunlight, and blocking out most of the sun, would be detrimental to life on earth. though solar panels sounds like it would work. it really wouldnt.
I was thinking the same thing, you can't block out the light with the solar panels, otherwise earth turns into an ice cube. Put the solar panels far out in earth orbit so they don't block the sun, still have the problem of transmitting that collected energy to earth
Hypothetically Speaking you can’t get nowhere near the Sun ☀️ son!

We are very thankful for your comment!
Wouldn't it be more "practical" (in terms of materials and travel costs) to go to Mercury, build a factory there and use the planet's minerals to build the solar panels to send around the Sun?
but how would you bring back the energy to earth ?
@@DVinod-oz8np Like stated in the video, maybe. Or by building highly advanced batteries to send to earth. Mercury can be used to build and send the solar panels around the Sun, it has smaller gravity than Earth, no atmosphere and it's mostly made of metals, so it would be a huge cut on the costs compared to building sending stuff from Earth I think.
@@AcaciaAvenue
I have an idea as well. If we can't bring power to the people, then bring people to the power.
@@marrqi7wini54 I can't say if this is a joke or not but. Yeaahh let's do it
@@tusarosnow9858
Orbital habitats closer to the sun. With proper shielding, they can be protected from the harsh star. So no, I'm not joking. We can do it.
This gives me an idea. If not all of the Sun's energy reaches the solar panel farms on Earth, because of the reflections, why not we just try to put them in Earth's orbit, but far enough to the point where the Sun's energy does not start reflecting off the Earth.
How would we get the energy from the panels in space back to earth though
@@prabs1047 Lasser
@@AbdulHakim-nq4xb No, make the solar power stations have ports and reusable rockets with giant batteries to transport the energy back to earth?
WE Cannot let another 2 years of this go on its time for the American ppl. to drag every corrupt politician out of the office.
Thanks mate your videos lack of understanding has inspired me to do a video on how to do a Dyson swarm correctly in detail.
Placing so many solar panels around the Sun would reduce its temperature so the consequences would cause the Earth's temperature to cool down enough to trigger an ice age. That is not a good idea since it would destroy all life on Earth.

What if Antarctica disappeared? (Not melted, just disappeared.)
Wouldn’t be surprise
A carpark is not a very good measurement unit, especially since they are all different sizes
Pyramids can be act both as antina and powerplant which will receive and supply electricity and if i am not mistaken Some scientists have already developed wireless electricity transmission possible in a small area though!
Noice pfp
I am trying to understand how they are classifying civilization types, when we are the only known civilization "type" in existence. It's like we invent words and classifications for no reason other than to sound smarter than what we actually are.
That it is to clasify alien civilization when we find an alien civilization which we has yet to find
Why are we trying to get the power back to Earth? If you're making a structure around the Sun, then you might as well just house everyone on it. It will have a much larger surface area than Earth with that diameter, which means way more room for our increasing population. With all that energy we wouldn't really need to worry about efficiency at first. You could have all the food and trees and stuff growing on the opposite side, and reflect sun around or even use full spectrum bulbs to provide the light needed for the plants to grow inside the giant structure. Put all the water in panels or pipes on the surface facing the sun to heat everything inside, provide steam power, and block some of the radiation. We could even make giant electromagnets around the structure to block some of the radiation, much like how Earth does. Removing all or most the humans from Earth will let it restore itself a bit and let some of the other animal populations grow, or just mine it to the core and bring everything to the megastructure with us, like an ark. We could try crashing Jupiter into the sun first to make it more dense, and we could feed it more planets periodically to prevent it from collapsing on itself and destroying everything, but that would also mean we would have to find a way to redirect the sun so we can travel to other systems to use them as fuel. So I guess the main concerns are steering the sun, and making sure we have enough water for everyone, the plants, and the animals. We have a ton of water in the oceans we aren't really using, so that could sustain us for a few hundred thousand years while our sun makes the journey between systems. It would be a hard decision to tear apart our solar system and get rid of all the planets at first, but if that's what it takes to ensure the survival of the human race then I'm sure we would do it if we had to. It would seem like less of a big deal once we've done it, and, I mean, there are how many other planets in the universe? So who really cares if we have to sacrifice a few uninhabited planets to survive and travel to another solar system?
Would make more sense to install solar panels on the Moon. No atmosphere, more energy, space enough to cover the whole thing with solar panels.
Meteorites would be a problem though, since the moon doesn't have an atmosphere there will be no "invisible shield". What if instead we built it around the Earth's orbit moving at the same speed as Earth and far enough to escape our gravity then for it to come back to earth there could be this "drones" that will collect the energy that the SP (solar panels) generated back to earth then repeat
You have to Advance the Battery first that can store energy without aging and more capacity in mini scale without any problems. Then put the solar panels in space rather than in the earth as earth has only limited sunlight. If the batteries were charged in space then harvest them and export them to the earth.
i learn more then in my class.. WOW! what if u are amazing! Keep the good work up!
They would just melt instead of producing energy. It wouldn't be a good idea...

If you surround solar panels around the sun, it's called a Dyson Sphere, It's a super solar panel.
Came here to say this. This idea has been around for decades.
Let's hope it's made better than their hand dryers.
Wont the earth become cold if we build solar panels around the sun? cuz we wont get much light on the earth to keep the earth warm.
How odd. Humans are the only forms of life on this planet, that don't get it.
No wonder it's so easy to predict the future of the Earth and Humanity.
The Earth is perfectly adapted for the generation of life. Humans are the only ones messing it all up.
Solar panels on space might be very expensive. And we probably might need to consider rogue planets and asteroids that might collide with them in outer space
Woah 5th
If we made a Dyson sphere, we may end up getting a lot less sunlight.
What if multiverse was real... 🙄
Love what if videos
What if your body stopped repairing you?

Love your vidoes!
What if we put the panels around the earth instead
And earth would be in total darkness
The sun isn't completely covered in solar panels
What about sunlight which is needed for everything here on the Earth? With some of those represented structures there wouldn't pass enough of it to us.
It would be better to place solar panels on Mercury.
Sounds like something a Mercurian would say. 👈 👈 👉 👀 👈
We can still get sunlight. The solar panels don't have to completely surround the sun for us to get enough of the energy we need.
@@cris8627 as I said, not with some of structures presented in the video.
@@sandrokostic6008 Well you'd be right, but point is that putting them on mercury because we wouldn't get sunlight in earth isn't necessary. Simply using less solar panels would work
UNLIMITED POWEEEER!
Hello, dumb question here, would surrounding the sun with these solar panels have any negative impact on the amount of sunlight the Earth receives per year? Could this have a negative impact on our agriculture or climate?
aside from any impact on agricultur...well, it would be pitch black here on earth
no spheres then but the floating panels
With that much energy we could create artificial lighting on the entire earth
Honestly I think this is one of the things that we definitely should do. Maybe not solar panels orbiting the sun but solar power stations. I don’t think the negatives are really that risky. I’m no expert and I’m sure if they did it they’d think of the most effective way possible and it could help humanity out so much
yea we can make a dyson sphere around the sun(they made a video on this before)
@@Twizzyrich.amp1 but an actual Dyson sphere is implausible. At least for now.
What if light speed was not constant
but its more futur ristic soo i give like
How is a dyson sphere more efficient than just using the moon with it's ultra-thin atmosphere? Wouldn't (hopefully) disturb any balance along the way as well. (Ok, should watch the vdo... Just first thought...)
What if some countries, succeeded in concentrating solar rays as a new weapon, to burn other countries, instead of the nuclear one?
Well it be more effective weapon due to not destroying everything but making a controlled destruction over important stuffs

Here's why this video is impossibly unrealistic.. first off: "We" is collective. That's not where we are now. WE can agree on anything.. secondly: if we can agree, we'd build solar panels across every desert in the world BEFORE we try it in space. Third: solar panels require materials, at this point, material we're taking from Earth - we'd hollow out the planet just for a few space laden solar panels. We need to figure out how to get materials from space and build in space BEFORE we decided what we are going to build.
Tfw I've played Kerbal Space Program since 2014, with mods since 2015, and only now do I realize that I made the little buggers a type 2 civilization just for shits and giggles.
First solve global decision making by making human beings a collective mind - one singular mind.
THEN figure out how to get raw materials from space.
THEN figure out how to process those materials.. but off planet..
Solar panels bla-bla-bla, spaceships bla-bla, antennas bla-bla-bla... That is just a silly and stupid way to create a Dyson sphere.
Here is a list of required stuff to make a Dyson sphere(minimal set):
1) The Sun
2) The Plants
If you *really really* want to maximise our solar power potential, you should FIRST consider increasing our solar panel conversion efficiency to close to 100% from our somewhat pathetic 15-20%.
You might think this is an innate assumption when discussing this topic, but it is always better to give the general public a wake up call before diving into the science fiction.
We just sent the James Webb Space Telescope to the L2 Lagrange Point, which will keep it on the shadow side of Earth, away from the Sun. What if we built the proposed Solar Collection Farm at the L1 Lagrange Point, where it can orbit much closer to the Sun, while still matching Earth's orbit? 😗
Put it first on the sahara dessert
TYPE 2?! We are, **at best** capable of one day (WELL into a distant, dark, alien future) becoming I type one civilization--let alone a type 2, you big silly dreamer foo'
I like the idea, but nature also needs energy from sun.
It doesn't have to completely surround it (or even take all of it's energy, a small fraction is enough to power humanity for millennials) so I bet it'll be fine
I might be laughed at with my comment but… what if we just build a few million kilometres wire straight up the panels lol.
Problem is maintaining such mega structure and space is risky.
Sun's gravity attract lot of astroids.
There are also solar storms which can be an issue.
Gravity of mercury and Venus will need whole set of new calculation.
And a major setback can cause trillions.
Also lack of technology
And astronomical travel time from earth.
People are worried about the effects of man on our planet ... putting an energy absorbing belt around the sun in the plane of the solar system would have effects on all the planets that are on or go through the plane.
Why would we be so stupid?
What would we use all the power for? ... and if we imported it to the Earth we would have to re-radiate it to keep our home planet habitable.
Building or moving a planet closer to the sun would seem more sensible when the incident energy is too low to sustain (human) habitability.
Preventing solar microwaves hitting and destroying the habitability of the Earth when the magnetosphere decays seems a more pressing problem to me! Perhaps the 'Musk' experiment in trying to habitate Mars will help with information for maintaining habitation of the Earth in the, hopefully distant, future.
Wow these videos just get more entertaining with each video!!
2:12 That hoodie is amazing!
Being a scientist myself I know what this thing is called it's called a Dyson Sphere it's basically a bunch of solar panels around the Sun harnessing its power to build one is sci fi right now but in the future it may be possible watch kurdzgagts video.
I think the Kardeshev scale is based on the wrong criteria and could actually lead to the destruction of the world. I think an advanced civilization would be the one that produces zero waste. What do you think, what if? What if we were a zero-waste generating civilization?
this is such a dumbed down version of a dyson sphere... at the point we could build one humans would have solved the "microwave transmission" system entirely and may have found an easier solution to harvesting energy.

It is not possible to put solar panels around the sun. The sun is a massive ball of gas and is not a solid surface on which to install solar panels. Additionally, the temperatures and radiation levels near the sun would destroy any material used to make solar panels. However, scientists are looking into ways to harness the energy of the sun through other means, such as building solar power plants in space.
