Neat! Reminds me of my idea of making really big Jupiter brains by taking
a globular cluster (or a galaxy), making the stars to either fall into
the core (where they are converted to neutronium and used to build the
machine) or into high orbits to be used as fuel later. I wonder about the
properties of that core - it seems like a normal, very spherical
galaxy, but maybe that is just the biege casing...
