One problem with the Dyson Sphere : wouldn't the mass of the sphere work against the gravitational force of the sun, and reduce it's ability to drive nuclear fusion?

[@fundoo203]

The mass of the structure will be nothing compared to that of the sun

[@fundoo203]

@Mae Just think for a sec. If we have to build a Dyson sphere then we may need to disassemble a bunch of planets. But more than 99% of the solar system's mass is just sun. So how much ever planets you disassemble it is nothing to the sun's mass. So sit tight and enjoy

[@fundoo203]

@Mae you can watch kurtzesagt video on Dyson sphere for more clarity

[@spirostravlos3801]

@@fundoo203 correct.

[@user-bz1xk3pm2v]

@Mae First of all, the mass of the sun is 1.989 × 10^30 kg. If a Dyson Sphere (from here on, sometimes “Sphere”, sometimes DS) was built around the Sun, e.g. with same radius (1 AU) as Earth’s orbit, it would receive all the power of the Sun, 3.8 × 1026 W, in contrast to the power intercepted by Earth, 1.7 × 1017 W. These numbers can be compared to the current power consumption of Earth, 1.7 × 1013 W [3], but one has to keep that in mind include the power to keep Earth at ∼ 280 K rather than the ∼ 3 K of inter- stellar space, nor the energy we get from food to keep our body temperatures constant and our physiological processes running. Such a Dyson Sphere1 also would represent a living area orders of magnitude larger than Earths’s surface (2.8 × 1023 m2 vs. 5.1 × 1014 m2). A Dyson Sphere with 1 AU radius in So The amount of non-physiological power at the disposal of the average in- dividual has usually been considered as one of the measures of technological advancement in our recent history. Possibly extrapolating this trend, Kar- dashev [4] has given a classification of hypothetical intelligent civilizations according to their energy use. A Type I civilization is able to harness all 1A radius of 1 AU would seem to be chosen so that if we lived on that sphere, the Sun would look the same as it did from the surface of Earth. However, such a sphere would have a temperature of ∼400 K, since the infrared-emitting surface of the Earth is four times the the sunlight-receiving cross-section, while for the Dyson Sphere, the two surfaces are equal. Another consideration is gravity: If the sphere were built in the Sol system with 1 AU radius, the grav- ity due to the Sun would be only 5 × 10−4 g, so humans could not live on it without either genetic modification to become compatible with microgravity, or a technology of artificial gravity.
