She’s gone from suck to blow!
But the vacuum was clearly a clone of a late 70’s Kirby or Royal vacuum cleaner.
When questioned on his whereabouts during this incident, Captain Tuvok only had this to say:
Ok, this deserves all the upvotes.
…that is definitely not a Dyson, though.
this meme sucks!
Dysons are bagless tho
It’s going to be really funny trying to explain to aliens that our name for their pinnacle of engineering megaconstruct is just some dude’s name
“He thought of it first”
Hm, is there sci-fi set inside a Dyson sphere? I am aware of Ringworld, but I want an actual sphere with a star in the center.
The Endymion books (followups to Hyperion) get into building one.
TNG S06E04 “Relics”
Other than that, I can’t think of any.
Yeah, I remember that one. But it’s just inside the Enterprise and on the outside of the sphere. So weird that there’s nothing with an actual sphere.
Here is the D being tractored in. You can see the inside of the sphere in these shots.
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
When we consider that a dyson sphere encompasses a star and therefore has to be at least several AU to not fall into it, then the interior shot is laughably not to scale.
They get pulled in in the second part of that episode, but it’s more a “how do we escape” plot than a “look at this cool Dyson sphere” one.
That is the episode that introduced me to the concept.
Deathgate cycle has one, but it’s rocks and plants
In Hamilton’s Night’s Dawn trilogy the Mosdva have constructed a partial dyson sphere (interlinked diskcities)
In some of Neal Asher’s books there is mention of a Dyson Sphere being constructed.
If you want to have a go of making one yourself, there is Dyson Sphere Program.
EDIT: “Bowl of Heaven” is another “not exactly a Dyson Sphere” novel, it takes place on a structure that is half a Dyson Sphere. Co-written by Gary Benford and Larry Niven. (author of “Ringworld”)
Heavens River has a Topopolis
