Nothing in the Universe is static. In the milky way, billions of stars orbit the galactic center.
Some, like our sun, are pretty consistent, keeping a distance of around 30,000 light years from the galactic center, completing an orbit every 230 million years.
This dance is not an orderly ballet - more like a skating rink filled with drunk toddlers. This chaos makes the galaxy dangerous. Our solar neighbourhood is constantly changing, with stars moving hundreds of kilometers every second.
Only the vast distances between objects protect us from the dangers out there. But we might get unlucky in the future. At some point we could encounter a star going supernova. Or a massive object passing by and showering earth with asteroids.
If something like this were to happen we would likely know thousands, if not millions of years in advance. But we still couldn’t do much about it.
Unless… we move our whole solar system out of the way.

I absolutely love the snowball effect that this could have for human expansion through the galaxy. One Dyson Sphere makes the solar system our spaceship. As we orbit the galaxy backwards, we colonize another solar system by terraforming its planets, and we build a second Dyson Sphere around the new star. That star then gets its own Caplan Thruster and begins orbiting with us. Both of these solar systems can then colonize 1 more system each, for a total of 4 habitable solar systems. Those 4 then become 8, then 16, and so on. Exponential growth could have us owning the entire galaxy if we wanted to do so. Imagine that. 🤩

Evolution is a lie. There is abundant evidence that debunks the theory of evolution. First of all, there are zero true transitional species. Every single living thing can be classified as a eukaryote or a prokaryote, a fish or an amphibian, and so on. If evolution was true, then there must be species that are a transition between two kinds of living things. If evolution was true, then there must be species that are a transition between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, between fish and amphibians, and so on. But there are none. See, in order to be a true transitional species, a species must contain organisms from two different kinds of living things. There is no other possible way to bridge the evolutionary gap between the different kinds of living things. For example, a transitional species between fish and amphibians must contain some organisms which are scientifically classified as fish and some organisms which are scientifically classified as amphibians. But there are no species like this. The fact is that there are zero true transitional species. Secondly, there are zero transitional organs. If evolution was true, then there must be organs that are a transition between two different organs. For example, according to the theory of evolution, lungs evolved from swim bladders. So there should be an organ that is a transition between a swim bladder and a lung. But there is no organ that is a transition between a swim bladder and a lung. These are just some of the many evidences that prove that the theory of evolution is a fairy tale.

It's finite over the lifespan of a single individual (duh), but it's renewable on the timescale of the human species. But I agree, we have to prioritize. I however don't see how that's related at all. The whole video assume there is an actual need to relocate humanity. Unless we take human evolution in our own hands (with gene editing or whatever) or without serious ecosystem shaping, there's no way of saying whether the bare minimum for human survival could some day become anything less than the entier solar system. Or maybe what you mant is that moving the solar system is so slow that we'd be better off not moving it at all and leaving the problem for future generations?

I think the original Shkadov thruster was supposed to be spherical. The problem with a parabolic mirror is that it hard to keep it in place. If parts of the mirror are reflecting light in directions other than along their axis to the star, then the radiation pressure exerted on these parts of the mirror cannot be balanced by the sun's gravity. In theory, you could fix this if the mirror was sturdy enough, but maintaining that kind of tension sounds like a tall order. I think you can solve this by rotating the mirror, but this becomes complicated as different parts of it need to be rotating at different speeds and have different thicknesses.

It is estimated that when Andromeda merges with the Milky Way Galaxy that there will be no solar collisions due to the vast distances between them. The main problem I see is in being able to accurately predict a cosmic apocalypse millions of years in the future in time to be able to construct a device that would move our Solar System out of harms way in time for it to be of any use to save us. Reducing the mass of the sun to extend its lifecycle may be viable option to pursue as that would be a clearly foreseeable goal which could be developed with an achievable goal in mind.
