      But even if it were, wouldn’t a dyson sphere on the sun mean no more sunlight left for the rest of us humans on earth? We’d have to build it on a neighboring star, which would then complicate bringing it back.

        You could just build it as two hemispheres and then have a slit in the middle align to the orbital plane. You could have a few corridors every now and then as they wouldn’t really block out much light.

        Although that wouldn’t really be a problem since in order to get enough material to actually build it you would need to dismantle most of the planets in the system including Earth. Which does rather present a difficulty and I suspect would be a major political blocker.
