Is it possible to build a Dyson Sphere?
How do we search for Dyson Swarms in the universe?

Jason Wright is a professor of Astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State. His more recent paper titled, Dyson Spheres, looks at the overall history of the idea of building a megastructure to best use a star's energy. Professor Wright joins John Michael Godier on Event Horizon to discuss the subject in depth, looking at what can be done with the energy to how and have we searched for signs of these alien megastructures built by alien civilizations. One close call was Tabby's star or KIC8462 and what was causing the stars light to dim during transits.
