    I don’t know like. Have you ever slept next to a woman? They generate about a Dyson spheres suns worth of heat.

      Damn, you got that model, mine is just subzero temp freezer, but it balances out since Im practically a nuclear reactor of heat

        It is useful in winter.

        I’m normally cold except if I’ve had a late takeaway or a drink, then I turn in to a furnace 🤣

      That…that explains why they consider all environments to be immeasurably cold. If they’re radiating all that heat, any exterior environment seems like 0 degrees Kelvin.

    But it’s in incomplete list. Without boobs, it isn’t a fair comparison.

        Most of us aren’t used to “terrawatts” though. Is that like one Earth worth of watts? One watt as measured on Earth? The definition of watt culturally accepted by Earthlings?

          You wouldn’t find a terawatt in everyday usage, but a terawatt-hour is pretty commonplace when talking about the energy usage of entire populations.

          This Reuters article states US power demand will climb to “4,027 billion kWh in 2022.” Yeah, just say 4 PWh. Or even 4,027 TWh. It’s a little more easily digested.

          It’s already an incomprehensably high number. No matter which way you state it is going to fly over peoples heads.

          And the entire electricity consumption of the planet is something like 25.5 petawatt-houts.

            They say it like that because people are used to being billed in kWh so it gives them a reference.

            I think theperson you’re replying to was making a joke off the misspelling of “terrawatts” in OP.

            Oh that’s super interesting and I did not know that, but I was riffing off the double R in “terrawatt,” instead of “terawatt.”

            Like “tera” describes an order of magnitude, but “terra” means “earth,” as in “terra firma,” “terra nova,” or “terran.”

            So I guess you could say that 25.5 petawatt-hours = 25,500 terawatt-hours = 1 terrawatt-hour.

      I doubt it. A structure like that would be an enourmous engineering project pummeled by solar radiation on the inside and space debris on the outside.

      I guess it would depend on the temperature resistance and how the power is transmitted. Even solar panels wear out, and the collection surfaces of a dyson sphere would be a lot higher temp. But with something that scale, I’d imagine it would be a ton of maintenance work even if was a tiny amount per area.

      I mean wouldn’t you still have to maintain the electrics of a sun sized surface? I guess you could use its own power for maintenance robots…

    I would like to submit an analogy that accurately communicates how overrated Dyson spheres are:

    Dyson sphere = non-trebuchet catapult

    Dyson ring = trebuchet

    Fact.
