Imagine colossal cosmic behemoths: Dyson Spheres encapsulating suns to harvest energy, Ringworlds encircling entire star systems, and Orbital Rings encasing planets. These awe-inspiring megastructures redefine the boundaries of imagination and beckon us towards a future beyond belief.
The Dyson Sphere, a hypothetical megastructure in sci-fi, was first proposed by physicist Freeman Dyson in 1960. However, it's not a solid sphere, as often depicted in sci-fi, but a system of orbiting structures designed to capture all energy from a star.
The Dyson Sphere, a hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star to capture its energy output, was first popularized in science fiction by the Star Trek episode Relics.
