StarTalk Radio
Hubble Trouble with Hakeem Oluseyi

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.

Hey, guys, we already got the energy.

The sun already has a Dyson sphere. You know what it's called? So when you think of the sun or a star, you think of it as two parts, the core and the envelope. The envelope is a damn Dyson sphere. It's already there. It's naturally there. It's 50% of the matter, right?

50% of the matter is in the core, 50% is in the envelope, and it's absorbing the energy that's coming out and radiating it to a useful form that we can build our solar arrays and capture.

Oh, so they're not getting all the energy.

So they have a data set of a handful of- They're cheating because there's all these stars that are enshrouded in dust that do the exact same thing.
