Picture this awesomeness of extreme engineering:

1..take a brown dwarf star
2..build a hollow sphere around it with a hole on one side.
3..build a VAST civilization on the outer surface on the sphere, fueled by the brown dwarf's energy.
4..because of the hole, the brown dwarf/sphere assembly will function as a rocket that has a burn time of hundreds of billions of years. You can steer it by repositioning the sphere's hole, which is the exhaust, and stop it by inverting direction, then closing the hole, and collecting the extra energy.
5..with some of the energy, atoms can be harvested from the interstellar (or intergalactic) medium which you can use to build stuff etc, among them Deuterium and Helium-3 which you can introduce into the brown Dwarf, extending its service life well beyond its natural lifespan
6..enjoy space travel all over the galaxy if not intergalactic space travel for trillions of years, with a civilisation of lets say a hundred billion, stopping occasionally to convert other Brown Dwarves (the most common star of the universe) to similar nomadic civilisations.


Is that epic or wut?

True.

I thought he was talking about the implications if it got any closer.

Slavaslave is correct.

Gravity is one of the weaker forces acting in the universe. Of the four fundamental forces in the universe: electromagnetism, strong interaction, weak interaction, and gravitation, gravity is the weakest of the four.

i didnt say he was wrong. Yes it is the weakest  of four, but that's like being the 4th strongest man in the world. I personally would not challenge the fourth strongest man in the world to any feat of strength.

gravity is by far the weakest but that is no ground for saying that its gravitational pull on earth wouldnt throw our delicate balance in the comfort zone out of whack

exactly.

It wouldn't rip apart the earth or anything. But it could definitely fuck up the tides and other things like that.

idk man, depending on where earth is in its orbit when this planet crosses our rotation, we either just have a really cool view or be absolutely fucked

The other day I was driving home around 11:40 am, and it was one of those days where you can still see the moon in the sky.

I was thinking about how incredible it would be to just see a planet pass us by and not be effected by it at all. In reality though, it would definitely fuck with earths homeostasis a little bit,
