A Dyson Sphere is a megastructure added in the Utopia expansion, capable of producing massive amounts of energy at the cost of rendering the solar system uninhabitable, except for Habitats. A Ring World is a megastructure added in the Utopia expansion, offering a solar-system sized habitat equivalent to four massive habitable planets.
Megascale engineering (or macro-engineering) [1] is a form of exploratory engineering concerned with the construction of structures on an enormous scale. [2] Typically these structures are at least 1,000 km (620 mi) in length—in other words, at least one megameter, hence the name.
The Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo displayed small apartment units (capsules) attached to a central building core.. Metabolism (Japanese: メタボリズム, Hepburn: metaborizumu, also shinchintaisha (新陳代謝)) was a post-war Japanese biomimetic architectural movement that fused ideas about architectural megastructures with those of organic biological growth.
Engineering on an astronomical scale, or astronomical engineering, i.e., engineering involving operations with whole astronomical objects (planets, stars, etc.), is a known theme in science fiction, as well as a matter of recent scientific research and exploratory engineering.
A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that encompasses a star and captures a large percentage of its power output. [1] [2] [3] The concept is a thought experiment that attempts to imagine how a spacefaring civilization would meet its energy requirements once those requirements exceed what can be generated from the home planet's ...
An artificial planet [1] (also known as a planetary replica or a replica planet) [2] is a proposed stellar megastructure. Its defining characteristic is that it has sufficient mass to generate its own gravity field that is strong enough to prevent atmosphere from escaping , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] although the term has been sometimes used to describe other ...
Stoli. Stoli Group USA, the owner of the namesake vodka, filed for bankruptcy in December. A number of things went wrong for the unit, including a slowing demand for spirits, a major cyberattack ...
In Gigastructural Engineering & More, a popular modification to the 4X game Stellaris, the Alderson Disk is featured as a buildable megastructure inhabitable by the player. In the game Honkai: Star Rail , the planet of Penacony is actually a large artificial space station-like megastructure housing a hotel surrounded by two small Alderson disks ...
