Relationship Goals: Astronomical Edition
The ultimate relationship comparison chart! Both Dyson spheres and girlfriends score high in the "hot" and "high maintenance" categories, but only one can generate 384.18 trillion terawatts of power. Dating advice from astrophysicists - always choose the one that can power an entire civilization! Though to be fair, neither will fit in your apartment.

Stellar Ambitions: Dyson Sphere Dreamers
The cosmic ambition gap is real! While society's pushing solar panels as the pinnacle of renewable energy, these forward-thinking individuals are playing 4D chess with their energy aspirations. A Dyson Sphere—a hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star to capture nearly 100% of its energy output—would generate roughly 400 septillion watts from our sun. That's enough energy to power approximately 100 trillion Earth civilizations! The Kardashev Scale they're referencing classifies civilizations by energy consumption: Type 1 harnesses an entire planet's energy, Type 2 an entire star's, and Type 3 an entire galaxy's. We're currently at a measly 0.73 on the scale. These visionaries aren't settling for incremental improvements—they're shooting for stellar domination!
