"did you do it?" "Yes" "What did it cost?" "Mercury"

I think Kurzgesagt are a group of time travelers from the future and they've been telling us how to survive.

Great tutorial! Been having trouble building these recently. I think ive got the hang of it now

Hi guys! I am from the year 5024 and this tutorial helped me build the dyson sphere. It works

"Where is Mercury?" "Gone. Reduced to mirrors."

"Hey Grandma. What happened to the 8th planet?" "We strip mined it out of existence"

Step 1: remove politics

7:26 "our attention is too often focused on short-term political gains and conflicts that will not matter in the long run" THIS phrase is why I think humanity should be leaded by scientist and intellectuals, people that is actually interested in progress and see the big picture

Kurzgesagt : Do you wanna know how to build a Dyson Sphere? Me, a teenager, eating boiled potatoes with ketchup and Mountain Dew at 3am : Yes, I do.

“Grandpa! We learned about all 7 planets today!” Me on the verge of tears “Good for you grandson.”

Thank you for this guide! I made my own at home and the results have been very positive so far!

As a time traveler, this video is absolutely correct. Very impressive

"If we don't destroy ourselves.." gotta love the honesty

theoretical physicists: its not just possible, its easy engineers: am i a joke to you

Mercury: "I'm scared of nothing." "But that thing..." Dyson Sphere "It scares me."

When I was a little boy and I learned about solar power I often would think about how pointless it was to have solar collectors on the ground when we could just have them in space! Even better if we could have them around the sun itself! I never had a word for describing this until I was in high school when I came across the idea of Dyson spheres I got disappointed it wasn’t an original idea but also super happy someone else thought of it too and became super curious about far-future technologies ever since! Dyson spheres are my favorite!

Planets in the solar system: 1980: 9 2020: 8 3020: 7

We were born just in time to speculate whether or not humanity can achieve this level of technology

Its insane to think back to when I first saw this and was blown away by some of these pretty shots of the swarm, only to come back now and see it as almost unprofessional compared to what they make now. Insane. Lovely video, keep up the amazing work. :)
