It's the person with the black, straight hair. That's not helpful. But where I'm from, we invoke skin color. Oh, the light-skinned dude, the red bone, the yellow bone.

So we're going to move on. But the point is that, yeah, some nerd thing that, but let me tell you what, unlike a black hole, take the sun, right? You can reconstruct what made the sun. That's how we know, oh, the sun looks like three dozen supernovae constituted. You can look at what it's made of today and reconstruct where it must have come from. You can't do that with a black hole, right?

Right? So did I. Go ahead. Okay.

Try it sometime. It's called book learning. So basically, you're not going to have enough matter to build a Dyson sphere. If you took all of Jupiter and you try to make a Dyson sphere around the sun using all of it, the idea is that that matter, that's like taking a human eyeball and trying to make a sphere around a basketball using that material.

So you're trying to harness the energy of a star using this artificial... You're trying to absorb it in matter, right? And then convert it to useful energy, right? Right. And so... you do not have enough matter in the solar system.
