Over fifty years ago, physicist Freeman Dyson proposed an awesome, if slightly insane, idea: That an advanced alien civilization might construct a massive, energy-harvesting sphere around its star, and bunk up inside.

Scientists have never given up on Dyson spheres — we've even conducted a few legitimate searches for their infrared heat signatures. Now, physicists Ibrahim Semiz and Salim Ogur may have an explanation for why we can't seem to find the megastructures. If Dyson spheres exist, they're probably a lot smaller than we thought.

I always felt that ST:TNG should have done a follow up episode to their "Relics" episode regarding their discovery of a Dyson Sphere in which we learn more about the DS.

Yep, that would have been great!

A scientific find like that would have been tremendously important. We can assume that thousands of investigators went to the dyson sphere and set up a permanent colony so they could spend decades learning everything about it.

That would have made a great spin-off series, too! Very Happy
