In this episode of Entropy Rising, Jacob and Lucas explore how civilizations could harvest unimaginable amounts of energy from black holes. From accretion disks and the Penrose process to Hawking radiation and even quasar jets, we break down the science, the possibilities, and the dangers.Could farming a black hole make a civilization Type III on the Kardashev Scale? How would we actually build a Dyson Swarm around one? And what would it mean for the far future, when stars burn out and black holes are the last engines of the cosmos?We’ll talk about:How black holes convert matter to energy with insane efficiencyWhy accretion disks could outshine entire galaxiesThe mind-bending Penrose process and rotational energyHawking radiation as a long-term power sourceThe terrifying potential of black holes as weaponsIf you’re into space, futurism, and hard science, this episode will take you to the edge of physics and beyond.Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:00 Why harvest black holes? 04:00 Accretion disks & Dyson swarms 12:00 Hawking radiation explained 20:00 The Penrose process 27:00 Quasars and black hole jets 36:00 Black holes as weapons 41:00 Civilization endgameSupport the showWebsite: https://www.entropy-rising.com/
