Freeman Dyson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (709 words)
Freeman John Dyson (born December 15, 1923) is an English-born American physicist and mathematician, famous for his work in quantum mechanics, nuclear weapons design and policy, and for his serious theorizing in futurism and science fiction concepts, including the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Dyson conceived that such structures would be clouds of asteroid-sized space habitats, though science fiction writers have preferred a solid structure: either way, such an artifact is often referred to as a Dyson sphere.
Dyson has also proposed the creation of a Dyson tree, a genetically-engineered plant capable of growing on a comet.
Dyson sphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2339 words)
A star contained within a Dyson sphere would not be directly visible to the outside universe, but the Dyson sphere itself would radiate an equivalent amount of energy in the form of infrared light due to solar heating from within.
In addition, since Dyson spheres are composed of solid matter instead of heated gas, the emission spectrum of the Dyson sphere would more closely resemble a fl body spectrum than the typical emission spectrum of a star, which has absorption features introduced in the stellar atmosphere.
A third type of Dyson sphere called a "Dyson bubble" is occasionally considered, composed of beans that hover motionless relative to the englobed sun using light pressure; this form of Dyson sphere has such low mass requirements that it could potentially be built from the material contained in a single small moon or large asteroid.
