Liv Boeree's video: Climbing the Kardashev Scale: Dyson Spheres

What's the best use of the planet Mercury? Turn it into a sun-harnessing Dyson sphere, of course! But how exactly does one do that? And what could we do with it? In this video I pick the brains of University of Oxford's Anders Sandberg, a physicist who knows a thing or two about space megastructures. So check it out and let us know your thoughts (and further questions) in the comments below! And for a deeper dive, be sure to check out my full discussion with Anders about his work at the Future of Humanity Institute here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crFk-fDBu6A --- Live Curiously with Liv Boeree is a series of videos exploring the fringes of science, philosophy and futurism. Basically, the stuff of existential crises.
