A new paper combines two concepts from the edges of astrophysics: Dyson Spheres and black holes. A Type III civilization could combine them.

Since dark matter eludes detection, the mission will target sources of light that are sensitive to it.
The false assumption the Multiverse relies on is that something which exists requires an explanation.
The outer planets’ clouds hide the weirdness within.
Albert Einstein and his theory of general relativity continue to amaze us to this day.
If the past is any guide, things are going to take off quickly.
More than any other of Einstein’s equations, E = mc² is the most recognizable to people. But what does it all mean?
“The pulsar sort of consumes the thing that recycled it, just as the spider eats its mate.”
Many people out there, including scientists, claim to have discovered a series of game-changing revolutions. Here’s why we don’t buy it.
The multiverse is an idea that has gained a lot of traction in popular culture. But what does science have to say about it?
What do we mean by a black hole’s size? A photon sphere? The minimal stable orbit? The event horizon? The singularity? Which one is right?
Neuroscience supports the notion that an escape from conventional perspectives can be a gateway to spectacular insights.
Explanations for the cosmic speed limit often conflate mass with inertia.
After 15 years of monitoring 68 objects known as millisecond pulsars, we’ve found the Universe’s background gravitational wave signal!
Before there were planets, stars, and galaxies, before even neutral atoms or stable protons, there was the Big Bang. How did we prove it?
Some constants, like the speed of light, exist with no underlying explanation. How many “fundamental constants” does our Universe require?
We’ll never be able to extract any information about what’s inside a black hole’s event horizon. Here’s why a singularity is inevitable.
“To take this in, you need to ride inside the mathematical symbols.”
Even the most brilliant mind in history couldn’t have achieved all he did without significant help from the minds of others.
Finding out how the Universe grew up was the biggest science goal of JWST. This ultra-early proto-galaxy cluster is one amazing discovery.
There are at least 15 different types of solid water (ice). Now, scientists believe that there might be a second type of liquid water.
There’s an extra source of massive “stuff” in our Universe beyond what gravitation and normal matter can explain. Could light be the answer?
Until the Apollo missions, we had no idea how the moon got here, just a series of educated guesses. They rewrote the story of the moon’s origins.
“When you feel the isolation setting in at times, you have to reframe your mindset.”
A new artificial intelligence method removes the effect of gravity on cosmic images, showing the real shapes of distant galaxies.
Not too hot, not too cold…
Centuries ago, the plague forced people into quarantine for years. Isaac Newton and Galileo used the time to revolutionize the world.
