I don’t see why effective solar panels couldn’t be nearly transparent, which would allow the Dyson swarm/sphere to be built much closer to the star, hence less expensive, and much easier to build, since smaller, and requiring less materials. Several contemporary companies have already developed highly efficient…

This is actually a theory I developed quite a while ago. It is not original with Seth Shostak nor with Edward Snowden. I named the concepts involved “The Encryptment Thesis” (note that the initials of Encryptment Thesis are “ET”). My theory also predates Stephen Hawking’s latest revisions to his Black Hole Information…
