This would be like a pulsar, but with a magnetic field a quadrillion times stronger than the sun's, and about a thousand times stronger than the already massive fields that are inferred for ordinary pulsars.

Two thousand years hence, Sherwood says hypothesized collections of Asteroidal materials congregating at the Earth-Sun L4 and L5 gravitational equilibrium points would make for building materials to construct a large rotating pancake disk capable of housing thousands of people in the comfort of a free-breathing atmosphere and some form of artificial gravity.

The research team's temperature analysis showed that summer temperatures in the Arctic, in step with the reduced energy from the Sun (related to an approximately 21, 000-year cyclical wobble in Earth's tilt relative to the Sun), cooled at an average rate of about 0.2 degrees Celsius per thousand years.
