Building Mega-Earths: The Concept of Artificial Planets
In the realm of cosmic engineering, the idea of constructing artificial planets, or Mega-Earths, has garnered attention. Unlike natural planets that form under specific astrophysical conditions, artificial planets could be sculpted to fit human needs, ideally larger and equipped with familiar Earth-like characteristics. Today’s exploration delves into the intricacies of designing these massive celestial structures, their potential sizes, gravity considerations, and their implications for future civilizations.
