Eddie Guy’s excellent new illustration of a so-called “Dyson Swarm” or “Dyson Sphere” for Popular Mechanics magazine gives us a glimpse of something that could very well help mankind live forever -- or so it is said. For those unfamiliar with the idea, a “Dyson Swarm” is made up of countless satellites that move towards a star and encircle it inside a sphere. In theory, this is meant to help spacefaring civilizations of the future to harvest the giant’s solar power output in order to meet the enormous energy requirements of interstellar space travel.
