minus-square@Gimpydude@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoYou know, that’s a really good point, but this is on such a bigger scale and if it’s a known problem today, I think they would know about it by the time they can build something like that.

But it’s unstable.
So is a Dyson sphere?
Spheres aren’t unstable around a star. Rings are unstable in orbit around a star.

We could just ask the mice.

Where you gonna go?
