Would it be possible for a technologically advanced civilisation

The heat and solar flares would prove to be quite an issue, also It seems far more practical to build a space station in orbit around a star.

but surely building a ring would just be like building a massive amount of space stations around a star and then connecting them, so it could be done, right?

>>8549592
It would be possible but stupid.

The surface area and manoeuvrability of a giant ring around a star would make it difficult to dodge debris and solar flares (don't think a solar flare would be easy to dodge considering how fast and massive they are but still), its a far more inefficient use of space because the ring shape means there's more surface area too, not to mention it would have to be unnecessarily large, the amount of time and resources required would be preposterous. Unless being a ring actually serves some other purpose it's just a stupid idea.

If you need to harness an entire sun's worth of engergy (dyson sphere) you're probably doing it wrong

I'm talking about pic related ya dunce.

so you're saying trump is a dumb as lindy beige? kek

>>8549585
do you realize how fucking big stars are?

Most of /sci/ are liberal retards, just like most of /pol/ are American cultists. Every board has its thrash.

Thanks I'll go to pol for my 4chan time before bed now. I thought this was the retard board.

What i meant wars that i don't think such a structure could be possible

>>8551903
but surely if you had enough resources it could be

>>8549585
I'd say it is not feasible.

We could lay layers of cobblestone under every highway and the roads would last for thousands of years.

Or we could pound some gravel into the dirt and cover it with asphalt and just fix the potholes and other damage every year.

At the point you could build a ringworld, you wouldn't' want to.

To simplify building a ringworld is like sending a chemical rocket to orbit Alpha Centauri
