It's weird how nobody is talking about what Dyson talks about most including the guest. A Dyson Swarm.

Wouldn't this thing collapse under its own gravity?

Eventually yes it would. It likely would not be in the form of a Dyson shell, rather it would be in the form of a Dyson swarm. Even then if it hasn't all conglomerated together that would suggest that it was being maintained at the time when you looked at it, or nearly so.

Ok I've only got a few mins. before my capacity to deal with Hoagie fades out.  Picture that scene in 2001 where HAL's singing Daisy.  Nite all.

A ring or equatorial swarm makes a lot more sense, right?
