What you are describing would probably be best fit by what’s called a “Dyson Sphere”, which would be a spherical shell constructed around a star in order to capture and make use of all of the radiant energy of said star. Such a construct would have to have the ability to manipulate gravity in order to keep the star in the center of the sphere, and one could extend this concept to include habitable planet(s) in orbit around this star, inside the Dyson Sphere. Now, slap an Alcubierre drive on your Dyson Sphere, and you are cruising yer solar system through the galaxy.

Every part of that particular dream was spot on, and I just knew it in every fiber of my being.

BlackJerseyGiantto science•Scientists say they have solved the mystery of what killed more than 5 billion sea starsEnglish3·1 month agoAt this point in time the oceans are all warming rapidly, given that in past, as best we understand it, the composition of the atmosphere has rarely changed as much as fast as it has in the past couple hundred years, and the ocean temperatures are doing the same in that they are also changing at a pace rarely seen in the historical record. Some lucky places in the ocean are warming even faster than the overall rapid temperature change; while a pot of water on the stove might only have bubbles just starting to boil into sight only on the bottom, the whole lot is getting hot.

Total Boat is great. It keeps up with West System Epoxy, and it’s cheaper. Also, Total Boat allows you to thin with acetone per the instructions. Total Boat isn’t picky about what you put in it.
