[QUOTE="eclipsenow, post: 69245689, member: 274355"] Thanks Timewerx, that was a great post! Now here's a new one. The discovery of a star that has gradually decreased visibility seems to indicate, to Sci-Fi people anyway, the gradual formation of a Dyson sphere. Either a terrible catastrophe has hit this star system and 2 planets have collided, gradually drifting junk into the way of our direction of light, or something even more amazing could be happening. But a Dyson sphere? The idea triggered a physicist to start thinking what [B][I]else[/I][/B] a Dyson sphere made of mirrors would do. Here's the result, and it's nasty! A Death Star like heat ray that could be projected 1500 light years (but would take that long to get there) all done with giant mirrors!
