darkmatter42 Posted August 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 How long until humanity could build that type of thing, if ever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkmatter42 Posted August 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 For us to reach that kind of power consumption, we would need to be AT LEAST a two on the Kardashev Scale. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale The Kardashev Scale – Type I, II, III, IV & V Civilization - Futurism https://futurism.com › the-kardashev-scale-type-i-ii-iii-i...

darkmatter42 Posted August 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I think we are a long way from that, well over five hundred to a thousand years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are pretty far away from being able to build a Dyson sphere probably 500 to 1000 years, The Dyson sphere itself would probably take around 100 to 500 years just to build. This is not stuff that is going to happen tomorrow. Here is my thread about a Super Massive Black Hole Dyson Sphere for a Kardashev Scale 3 civilization, link = https://www.scienceforums.com/topic/36136-building-a-supermassive-black-hole-dyson-sphere-continued/ Edited August 27, 2021 by VictorMedvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
