Dyson sphere hunt using Kepler data

1. The Ringworld series

by Larry Niven was based on the premise of the discovery and exploration of a modified Dyson sphere type structure. The mathematics of such a structure is truly staggering-enough room and enough energy efficiency for thousands and thousands of earth populations. It was an interesting concept when I first read it in the seventies, and remains an interesting topic today. I just re-read Ringworld and Ringworld Engineers when I was on vacation last month. One of my favorites. Louis Wu, indeed.
