neither actually. I don’t think this is ringworld, light pollution from lighting up a single building at night with sunlight would play holy hell with the ecosystem. Along with all the other problems

even the proposed three mile patches of sunlight mentioned in the article would be incredibly impactful and in fact the article does briefly mention the environmental impact:

“Past research on light pollution has also shown that it can alter the behavior of a wide array of animals and plant species, as well as disrupt human sleep cycles.”

ah you may have missed my meaning there. I was concerned about sunlight going somewhere in the middle of the night. Things need it to be dark. Since both the article and other commenters had already addressed the issues to people I thought I would bring up that its an environmental disaster as well

Joking aside this is a horrible idea even if it were possible to get right. Anything with circadian rhythm is going to get fucked up real fast and that includes people. This is like angry mob outside the corporate office level bad. Torches and pitchforks, the whole thing

as funny as it will be to see them build the anti-christ in the name of god we should still burn it down before that happens

That will work out as well as the death tunnel (formerly hyperlink)
