O-F Staff Note: This thread is for discussing [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyson_sphere]Dyson spheres[/ame] and building them by transformation of energy into matter.
Thread forked from "5 Earth sized planets in habitable zone found" discussion, and some quotes may refer the former thread.
I'd like to point out that in all probability, Dyson spheres won't resemble the solid-shell structures seen in science fiction. A civilisation could be extracting exawatts from a star and the structures by which they could do so would only occasionally occult the star as seen from Earth.
