Even if the game ran good, it still doesn’t have much to do in the game compared to San Andreas, yakuza, or red dead Redemption 2.
@@prospect2664 In the hopes to help you, there may be something going on regarding a 1800 Euro not being able to handle the game. First off:
What year did you buy it in? Did you build it yourself or was it purchased pre-built? What resolution are you trying to play in?
A self-built 700-900 USD PC should be able to handle Ultra 1080p at 100 FPS in the nomad starting prologue with little difficulty. If you have a 2070 (last generation), you should be able to also use max ray tracing with roughly the same FPS (assuming you have at least a 10th gen processor if intel is used -- A side note is that AMD is now considered the top dog in this field). If you're using a 4k Monitor, then a mid-range 1800 build might have difficulties maintaining 60fps or even 30 FPS even with a 3070. 4k is very labor intensive and there may be natural bottlenecks in both self-built and especially pre-built computers. Most of the time, pre-builts are only as powerful as a self-built that cost 1/3rd the price (meaning that self-builts or custom builders are almost always the way to go if you want a beefy computer). 10xx Series and now 30xx series GPUs are hard to get during their relevance due to a combination of scalpers and miners, so sometimes custom made may even be cheaper than self bought. Though you should avoid pre-built brand names most of the time. They over charge and under deliver in most situations.
If a 4k monitor is used, then switch to 1080p or 1440p and enjoy the FPS in the 60-100s range.

If we ever manage to build a Dyson sphere, the simulation would end as we haven't paid for the expansion pack.
its more like we send the first parts out for some years and the first manned ship. the moment we try to assemble it the message will appear. as a non skippable notification as the astronauts view, seeing nothing else, bit allowing to work on it for 5 minutes after a 1 min add. and nasa be like "well, take the add. we will wait."
Thats when we die

Speed of scale... So what caused entropy to expand.? You can't have an atom unless there's entropy. Quantum particles.? Formed to make the first Adams.? Nothing gathers unless there's pressure. High and low. That points to entropy just being there. Where it came from is a big question mark.
Meaning: when did thermal dynamics first appear in physics. What caused it. A repeat of the same question.?
Either way light/ entropy, moves at a constant but, scale is infinite in rate and size. At the same moment. Putting the two walking hand in hand. Meaning: they are one and the same. This point to never knowing when it started, or how big things are. We're somewhere along the line, looking at what's in front of us scratching our heads. This is part of the conundrum in physics.
We can apply it but, that's about it. Maybe that's all that matters.

As fascinating as it is, the scale of such a monumentous project is so vast, it would require the pillaging of entire solar systems worth of resources to build one in our system.
The Dahak* book series by David Weber has a Dyson Sphere-esq structure that they build to protect the inner solar system. The Dyson sphere that we would build would be similar to this in that they (in the book) realized that there are a LOT of unoccupied solar systems around us. We can dismantle those systems as opposed to destroying ours.
Edit: it helps to use the right name of the book series.
There are neighboring solar systems that's we could actually start gathering resources from soon once are space tech gets more advanced.
Not for the Swarm though. We don't need a swarm that could harness even *1%* of the Sun's power output in order to provide more energy than humans will ever need for billions of years. Also, as the swarm gets built, it will provide energy to help increase further production of the swarm.
We should have started on this decades ago. We can do it right now. There is nothing stopping humanity from having this literally world changing technology other than *greed.*
They (not some Illuminati _"they"_ .. but the profit driven corporations and corrupt governments that enable them) have insatiable greed that truly is an insanity. *_THEY_* wouldn't care if the Earth, and everything on it, shattered into a million pieces, as long as they were flung off into the frozen void of space clutching the most money in their cold dead hands.
Nope, people have done the calculations, we'd only need about the mass of Mercury to do it. In fact, Mercury itself is a wonderful source of raw material for such a project!
@@mrbuttocks6772 you’re not going to find all those resources In any single location

That sounds kinda dumb ...... its lile saying you dont need a car if you already have the bike......we dont technically need it but it damn sure helps
I kinda took it as you would need a dysons sphere worth of energy to build a dyson sphere. If you were that advanced already, and you could make megastructures that size... I am sure we are so efficient with our energy or using some next to free method at the point that we wouldn't be interested in making a dyson sphere.

Technically, nuclear and at least part of geothermal energy can be argued to be a form of solar energy that's a lot older, from a previous star in fact, as it did take something like a supernova to create all elements bigger than iron, including most everything radioactive.
Can you explain please?
@@lillycastitatis6807 Fusion happens in stars or during specific events like supernovas or stellar collisions, and the latter examples are required for anything bigger than iron. Hence, anything fissionable came from a supernova or stellar collision, making them a product of past stars.
@@Avigorus Thank you for the reply. Does that mean that rather than being formed here, fissionable materials arrived to Earth from space?
@@lillycastitatis6807 They were part of the dust that coalesced into the solar system. Some might have come from asteroids or meteorites after the fact, but the vast majority was here long before we even had liquid water on the surface.

I've always wished that was the afterlife. Just observing everything as time flows on beyond what our physical body ever could.
in a novel titled "ringworld", humanity created and lived on a modified dyson sphere constructed around a star. i read it in jr. high, and thought it was a good book. it was a ring because of the materials necessary to create such a structure.
With the dyson* sphere attracting asteroids wouldn't you have a system to destroy them for materials instead of simply a protective barrier? that would then allow for more materials and an expansion of the dyson sphere or the creation of a second one.
Dyson, not disown
@@sbh79 my b
At this point, I'm sure that weapons would advance in line with the Dyson sphere tech. They would be able to arm themselves well enough to blast pesky asteroids into component dust.
Probably would have already harvested the astroids for the materials along with all the other planets in the solar system by that point
It would not attract asteroids, that's now how gravity works dude.
Once we build a dyson sphere. We will easily be able to generate the 1.2 gigawatts that Doc Browns car requires to time travel.
A single bolt of lightning can do that we can already harness that. if we could use that energy to travel the speed of light maybe time travel into the future would be possible but only for solid objects because living beings can never withstand that type of speed

The Dyson Sphere might be near impossible to build.
But damn, electricity bills getting erradicated permenantly sounds like a dream come true.
Oh they'll still find a way to charge you don't worry about that lol. Most likely the costs of building it will be placed onto the citizens.
The power generation is free. The logistics and engineering needed to get it to your home would still need to be paid for, though. Water is already free, but getting it to your house in a form that's readily usable already costs money today ( and it should ). Energy sourced from a Dyson sphere would be very similar. I mean, technically solar energy is already free, but few actually take advantage of it directly outside of growing plants and paying for some product made by someone else that captures and stores it.

Hi! Nice idea! As you are building your project i realized that the water in the pond would b very hot for the fish since its sitting under the sun. I suggest putting the inlet of your pump in the river or canal whatever you would call it going to the pond and goes out again to the river. In that way you would not put filters anymore. Water would always be fresh.
I think the most energy-saving way to build a dyson sphere would be to base its design on a Roman Arc.
Have each frame segment fit upon one another in such a way that they sit down on each other, press against each other, and thus support each other.
After all, they all want to fall down onto the Sun, weighed down by the Sun's Gravity. So why not make them all lean down on each other?
imagine one day being able to look at the sun seeing a cage around it.
that would be fucking epic.
That wouldnt be epic for Megalophobic people. They would live in a constant nightmare
It's the asteroid belt. Now we have the foundations!
Only epic to us but not if you lived at that time with that technology. It's like having a Rover on Mars, could you imagine what the Romans or Ancient Greeks would think but nowadays most people are like meh.
It's sure fun to think that one day we will cage stars. But we won't. For one thing out of many, a contiguous object around a body is not in orbit. It's just a gravitationally unstable placement requiring constant adjusting due to any number of forces acting on it.
Ask Biden to build it, he is good at cages.

this video helped me think about how to transfer energy...... orbital tesala coils (erb) to collect the energy, and magnets with motors as generators for backup of course orbital too ( big magnets [don't want to reverse the poles]).
time the zap link ( you don't want to oops a orbital bodies in the beam.)
one or a multitude of them to bridge the gap (coils).
thank you for sharing your collected knowledge of Dyson Sphere
satellites and find a system that is only a star so we don't ruin our system, and of Corse share with the neibors once interstellar and they start working on one. (we check their formula to see if they have either found a new way to dyson or if they found our way of doing it.) otherwise they are "kerbals"
so swarms... satellites, and Nicola Tesla, coils in orbit ( don't cross streams or get orbital bodies in-between [Deathstars the planet] ) also coils in orbit around the moon as a battery converter so we don't fry our ozone off. as the earth orbits around the sun once a year zap, and the rest of the year run off battery and solar roof panels.
also what if "fallout shelter" artificial moons as chia pets.
@12:33 The act of dismantling Uranus for the sake of building a Dyson Spere can be a win-win situation

@@nosuchthing8 the wire would be better in energy loss
@@christianmarx3249 Yes, very true. Very impractical though
Hilarious thought, but the ideal design would be the sphere extending one AU, which means that the edge of it would be very close to earth, and basically be visible and reachable from the surface of the planet much like the moon

Exactly, our universe is just a little tiny part of something way bigger.
Could you do a part 2 on the possibilities of a Dyson Swarm?
As people, we love to grab onto these fantastic ideas, Dyson spheres are good fun to daydream about. In practice, it is about as practical as building the Titanic with toothpicks:
1. If you cover up the sun, all your geraniums will die.
Your other flora-n-fauna will quickly follow.
2. The solar system doesn't contain enough of the necessary material to make one.
3. It would take too long. By the time we gained the technology, equipment and man hours, Dyson spheres would be a mute point.
4. Take a look at the surface of our moon. Constant bombardment doesn't fare well for tech projects you want to keep neat.

Neither we nor they would need the whole thing. th-cam.com/video/pP44EPBMb8A/w-d-xo.html
Why you steal my name?
I think our brain is unable to fully process the size of such an object. The sheer amount of material needed to build a complete Sphere would require us to literally dismantle entire Solar Systems, and that thing would end up being so massive it would have it's own gravity. I think the more appropriate and feasible way would be to build a "simple" ring around the Sun with a more reasonable orbit, not a 1AU monster, and then transfer the power to earth with beams, lasers and all that scy-fy stuff.
But even with the right idea, you then have to actually build it, which would obviously require huge space factories, ships with enough payload capacity to move all that mass around the galaxy and put the parts in place. At the present day we can barely put a person on our own satellite.
If our civilization will ever get there (which considering our nature I seriously doubt), we are at the bare absolute minimum 5.000 to 10.000 years too early to even start thinking about sketching a concept on a napkin. And probably the same amount to design and build it.
The more I think about it the more I believe it's overrated. Think when you use a cheat code in a videogame to obtain some huge game-changing equipment you aren't supposed to get until much much later in the game.
Of course it's appealing, it's infinitely more powerful than everyhing we have, and if you could snap it in place just like that with a cheat code it would be a massive boost to....everything. But if you choose to follow the rules, grind your way to that point in the game and then spend time/energy/resources to build it on your own, it almost loses its point because the boost isn't that massive anymore.
Evolution is the literal definition of a step by step progress, to being able to build a Dyson Sphere, you'd need to be at the step immediately before that, no shortcuts allowed, and maybe at that point we'd realize it's not really that efficient of a concept, or that there are much easier, affordable and less spectacular ones. Reality has the really bad habit of being very anti-climactic compared to our imagination 😅
Except you are being too short-sigthed. Give us human 20 million more years. Its a reasonable amount, given crocodiles have had 200 million years. Do you seriously believe that we wont colonize the proximity of the solar system?
At any time we could develop an AI so advanced and self improving that could imagine a new type of living being, a "robot" that could survive in space and after landing on an object in space it could self replicate and exploit its resources?
We could very well the product of an alien civilization which coded into DNA instructions to replicate and improve itself until it can exploit the resources of where it landed and launched it into space. Through panspermia we travelled to earth and now are on our mission
Freeman Dyson's work on Project Orion would be a good follow up.
The speculation, that the 50,000 Ton, Space Battleship, that would have used, Nuclear Explosions to propel it through space, wasn't killed off. But better technology, some of it back engineered, was added to the design.
What, British Hacker, Gary McKinnon found, on the US Navy's database, for off world crew manifests, for the USS Curtis E LeMay and USS Nikola Tesla. As well as the large cylindrical / cigar shaped craft, in orbit, with 4 observation domes at one end, was in fact one of these vessels.

We can build a *partial* Dyson Sphere right now. We build what's called a Dyson Swarm. Lots of small satellites that capture solar energy. We can use that energy to then build more satellites, capturing even more energy. A full (solid) Dyson Sphere is not only completely impractical, it's impossible with any known or even speculative material. A Dyson Swarm is not only practical, but we have the technology to begin one right now.
Yes, almost all our energy sources ultimately originate from the Sun. Coal, oil, nat. gas, of course; wind, hydro, solar (obviously), even ocean thermal.
But there are exceptions - nuclear and geothermal are directly from the Earth, never having originated in the Sun; merely from the proto-planetary cloud that formed the Sun and planets.
Which in turn, came from prehistoric supernovae.
But in that sense, the Sun itself came from those.

“A dyson Sphere powering a solar system sized computer might just be able to run crisis”
Imagin we build a dyson sphere, only to explode with the sun in a few million years
Just to add to this awesome video. A strong consensus believes that agriculture began before the knowledge of building fires. Yet fire was the real pivotal “level up” .
It was, otherwise we would've stayed as basically small tribes that farm. Supported by the fact that uncontacted tribes still exist today who grow food but haven't mastered fire
Even if we had such a supercomputer it would be never able to run crisis..
It wont run it, but you could live it
Dyson spheres are an incredibly unlikely solution when compared to the recent advances in nuclear fusion.
Kurzgesagt says the spheres wouldn't have to be much more than giant, thin mirrors that redirect the sun's energy to collector stations elsewhere in the solar system. That would greatly cut down on the materials needed to build a dyson sphere.
Everybody gangsta until he says "heey 42 here"
Ahh, and just as I thought this would be sponsored by the new "Dyson Sphere Program" game.
great game
A ring swarm would orbit the sun in a flat plane like the rings of Neptune. But once you start going out of plane, you have bodies that need to cross the plane twice each orbit. In a structural sphere that isn't an issue because everything is held in place, but in a non-structural swarm you're going to need to plan everything perfectly to prevent collisions as they cross the equator.
I wonder if we had that much much energy, we could make a gravitational targeting beam to pull in objects from long distances such as spaceships we built to bring it around our star to slingshot it to set locations or just gave a gravitional beam to also push the spaceship through gravity laws using the gravitational beam.

I am building a platform shooter game that can also switch to an FPS game in a universe that has a Dyson Swarm. That's where the game takes place. I may post dev logs in my Doom/Halo channel when it's in a showable state.
I feel like the best idea for the design of a dyson sphere would be a thin sheet of power generating material that lets most (say e.g. 99%) of the sun's light straight through it, converting only a small amount to electricity.
This prevents completely changing the environment of the planets around the star while still generating absurd amounts of energy.
And in case anyone happens to read this and says "but such a thin layer would be impossible to build without breaking"... I could say the same for any dyson sphere with exactly the same amount of theoretical basis backing said statement - i.e. none at all.
I've always wondered if the great cold spot in space wasn't the result of a series of Dyson Spheres.
That’s an interesting thought.. but as we can see no gravitational influence in this space, I can say pretty confidently that there is nothing but a void..
Well Dyson spheres simply collect energy that will be dispelled either way.
@@maximkolomoec1793 well, you just ruined that fantasy with logic.....so that means that Sackwatch(sp) don't exist ? Good remark. BTW. Just goofing around
@@maximkolomoec1793 so that means either a. That void has been there since the Big bang or somewhere down the line, OR b. Some civilization did a big oopsie and made that cold spot.
Maybe next to using the solar energy of the stars, they figured out how to use the gravitational energy too, so they don't let that escape and influence the way we see the cold spot.
(I know this would not be possible but I like the theory and want to keep it alive)
It better be built by the Dyson the vacuum company
Sucking up that sun power
I think the theory advanced civilisations destroy themselves long before they are able to become multi planetary and build such space structures is correct.
2:24 not entirely true, 99.9% of all oil / fossil fuels are not big plants or animals, but plankton and ocean microorganisms that deposited over billions of years. An incalculably small amount is actually from animal / plants on the land. But hey its a fun popular myth so it keeps getting repeated, even though its wrong.

There is an alternative to the aforementioned Dyson Sphere that would actually be more efficient for harnessing energy: The Dyson Cloud.
If that is a possibility, that could be what's around tabbys star. Right?
It's called a Dyson swarm
I hear the words “Dyson Sphere” and I immediately think of the Star Trek TNG episode where they discover Scotty from the original series stuck in a transporter on a ship that crashed onto the surface of one.
@Steven Gandy: I keep thinking 'vacuum cleaner'...
star trek fans are all here!
You can solve a lot of the problems by using a Dyson cloud; instead of a single solid structure, build as many space habitats as required , they would be independent but (eventually) form a huge swarm orbitting the sun. That does away with the improbable material required to build an actual spehere, and it would be resistant to meteors as whilst one or more habitats could be destroyed it wold not threaten the whole system. You could also build it incrementally, kind oflike cities formed here on earth. Instead of using the planets for materials, you could mine the sun for them. The sun holds over 99.8% of the solar system's mass (and most of the rest is Jupiter). You could use an insiginficant fraction of the sun's mass, extracting it magnetically. Of course you'd have to change it from hydrogen to something more useful, but by that time, we'd likely have the technology and energy resources to transmute elements of an industrial scale. You could kick things off by simply coverting Mercury into solar energy collection panels. These could orbit the sun much closer than the habitats and essentially give you unlimitted energy. And that itself could be kick started by building a few of them, and using the energy to build more; self replicating robot factories on Mercury, more panels=more energy=more panels, an exponential process. It is surprising how fast you could convert an entrie planet that way. And Mercury is convneiently positioned already, and is extremely rich in metals.

i feel like a better sponsor if the game was around at the time of release would be dyson sphere program
If this Dyson sphere works the way it's described I would imagine it would be much like a black hole. With the ability to absorb all energy I can imagine that it would very closely resemble black holes.
Maybe that what a black hole is. Disclaimer: i don't believe so.
But perhaps intelligent aliens found the best way to collect energy is to build dyson spheres around the strongest stars in the center of galaxies. And they are trying to keep us out just like we try to keep ants out of our house.
Also.... Scientists are attempting to build a "pocket sun" here on Earth. Put a mini-Dyson sphere on that, and you might have a mighty power generator.
