Clarification:

  1. The correct answer will resolve to the earliest date. For example if a human build a Dyson Sphere in 2040 then the correct answer is 2050.

  2. Never means that building a Dyson Sphere will never happen.

  3. If the date is January 1, 2200 and a Dyson sphere was not built the answer will resolve to Never.


Resolution Criteria:

  1. Energy Capture threshold:

    • The structure must capture and utilize at least 1% of the Sun's total energy output.

    • Official measurements from at least 3 independent space agencies confirm the energy capture threshold has been reached.

  2. Specifications:

    • The structure(s) can be of any design: Dyson Sphere, Dyson Swarm, etc

  3. Human Civilization Origination:

    • The structure has to be built by humans or aligned artificial intelligence or rogue artificial intelligence originating from earth; or a cooperation between humans and AI. Discovery of Dyson sphere built by Extraterrestrial aliens does not count.
