Dyson sphere

名詞

A hypothetical system of orbiting solar power satellites meant to completely encompass a star and capture its entire energy output. / (science fiction) A solid shell of matter enclosing a star.

日本語の意味

（仮説上のシステム）恒星を完全に囲んでその全エネルギーを捕捉するための、周回軌道上に配置された太陽電池衛星群の構想 / （サイエンスフィクション）恒星を取り囲む固体の物質からなる殻

Scientists debate whether building a Dyson sphere would be feasible or ethically justifiable, given the enormous resources and potential consequences of enclosing a star.

科学者たちは、恒星を完全に取り囲みその全エネルギーを取り込むことを目的とした軌道上の太陽光発電衛星の体系を建設することが実現可能か、また倫理的に正当化できるかどうかを、膨大な資源とその潜在的影響を踏まえて議論している。

意味（1）

A hypothetical system of orbiting solar power satellites meant to completely encompass a star and capture its entire energy output.

意味（2）

(science fiction) A solid shell of matter enclosing a star.

But there's more to a Dyson sphere than collecting solar power. Say you make the sphere one astronomical unit in radius. You've got to clear out the solar system anyway, so you use all the solar planets in the construction. That gives you a shell of, say, chrome steel a few yards thick. Now you put gravity generators all over the shell. You'd have a surface area a billion times as big as the Earth's surface. A trillion people could wander all their lives without ever meeting one another."
