    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyson_sphere

    Inspired by the 1937 science fiction novel Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon, [5] the physicist and mathematician Freeman Dyson was the first to formalize the concept of what became known as the "Dyson sphere" in his 1960 Science paper "Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infra-Red Radiation". Dyson theorized that as the energy requirements of ...

  9. Dyson's eternal intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyson's_eternal_intelligence

    Freeman Dyson in 2005. Dyson's eternal intelligence (the Dyson Scenario) is a hypothetical concept, proposed by Freeman Dyson in 1979, by which an immortal society of intelligent beings in an open universe may escape the prospect of the heat death of the universe by performing an infinite number of computations (as defined below) though expending only a finite amount of energy.
