Scientists Say Star-Powered Megastructures Could Be Stable, Challenging Science Fiction Assumptions Artificial Structures Designed to Extract Energy from Stars Could Remain Stable New scientific modelling suggests that vast artificial structures designed to extract energy from stars are not merely science fiction . A study led by Colin McInnes at the University of Glasgow and published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, finds that advanced constructs such as stellar engines and Dyson bubbles could remain gravitationally balanced , provided appropriate engineering safeguards are in place, allowing them to draw power directly from their host stars.

While these ideas remain speculative, many studies point towards a shared solu...
