I'm thinking about time when cultures exist into stretches of time as long as tens of thousands of years, it could be that no power source other than the local star can meet the steadily increasing demand for more energy. This Recent developments on energy upgrades around the world is seeking to transform the entire world to substantial growth in energy sector.
The awesome power of the almost eternally blazing Sun hammering at our consciousness is an insistently recurrỈng theme to talk about and way further to understanding the impact it can generate for our benefit on earth.
The greatest of all the wonders of the ancient world-the pyramid of Cheopsseems to have been a Sun-oriented structure. We know almost nothing about this enigmatic artifice from a vanished age; it could be a survivor of the time when human beings had achieved a Type Two civilization an era before everything was destroyed in a disaster that engulfed the entire world.
engineers estimate that this structure couldn't be duplicated with the technology that exists today.
A Type Two civilization is characterized by an almost endless supply of energy-collecting cells in solar orbit to
capture most of the Sun's energy. But there just isn't enough of the proper material on or in the Earth to do a
respectable job of manufacturing that many solar-energy collectors.
A prohibitively enormous swarm of large, complex electronic instruments would be needed to orbit the Sun in order to collect most of its light and heat. This band of man-made "particles orbiting the Sun beyond Mars, would be widened through the centuries until it formeda kind of "shell" almost enclosing our star.
Every so often, the orbit of one of these solar energy-collector/transmitters would decay and the unit would plunge sunward something like a minor comet. (AstronomerS today know that there are hundreds of billions of comets slowly orbiting the Sun in the farthest reaches of inter planetary space beyond the know planets. We won't know the truth until a space probe lands on one, send back closeup telev pictures of it, analyses it's composition and perhaps brings back some positive pieces of it.
A Type Two civilization would be capable of dismantling several large planets and constructing an enorro swarm of these solar energy-colectors measuring a where from one to ten miles on a side. Bilions of these cells, orbited so as to form a thin spherical shell surrounding the Sun, would be what we now call a "Dyson Sphere»
They would, of course, feat of all known time also be the greatest engineering Columbus would have balked at the "impossible" notion of a jet aircraft carrying two or three hundred passengers (eating, drinking, enjoying music and watching movies) crossing the Atlantic in just a few hours. We tend to take this miracle pretty much for granted; yet we are closer to disnmantling the planets to create a Dyson Sphere around the Sun than Columbus was to the reality of Transatlantic jet travel.
