Will humanity ever construct a Dyson sphere?

No one on earth can answer this question with a confidence level of 100 unless you are a die-hard fan of Star Trek (just kidding)

Let's jump to the theory of the Dyson sphere starting with it's history, a physicist called Freeman Dyson postulated the theory that an enormous hollow sphere could be constructed around a star enabling one civilization to harness all the radiant energy of that star.

And with present technology & concepts, we can't even imagine how to utilize such an enormous amount of energy if we were gifted a Dyson sphere now.

To imagine how a Dyson sphere may look like, one can see it in Avengers: Infinity War which depicts Nidavellir as a Dyson sphere for drawing power to be used by the inhabitants.

Constructing a Dyson sphere around the sun would face many problems, right from the selection of material to transporting parts of the Dyson sphere from earth to the orbital ring of the sun. (Tbh, the list would be unending as of now & sarcastically we are not even talking about the money req'd)

There are many speculations, modified theory, possible procedures for the construction on the internet. If you like this piece of information then do read & watch videos on The Dyson Sphere (Biggest Megastructure by Humanity).
