      Once Dyson Spheres become boring you're ready for Issac Arthur's Megastructures series.

        They've got a lot of their videos in German as well and some of the German ones aren't in English yet. I find it useful for learning German.

    Glad they mentioned "Relics" from TNG, by far one of my favorite TNG episodes as a kid. I have always been fascinated with Dyson Spheres. I wish Trek would revisit the concept and location.

    A Dyson sphere is a theoretical mega-engineering project that encircles a star with platforms orbiting in tight formation. It is the ultimate solution for living space and energy production, providing its creators ample surface area for habitation and the ability to capture every bit of solar radiation emanating from their central star.
