Archived-At: List-Archive: List-Help: List-Owner: List-Post: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: Alas, both the Dyson Sphere and the simpler Ringworld are unstable and will drift into the object they orbit. Some pesky math majors proved that. (I've been a space nut and a hard SF fan since the 60s. I so wish more people understood how orbits work, but our science education system is poor and our space movies lie about how orbits work. So far, the best I've seen are 2001, Babylon 5, and The Expanse. Everyone else does WWII dog fighting in space, as if it had an atmosphere. A great tool for learning it is Kerbal Space Program, a construction game for building and testing spacecraft.)
