Did you see Highlander 2?

If so, I'm sorry. But remember how they put a shell around the Earth in order to protect it from the sun? Well scientist David Keith pretty much proposed just that at his TED talk. He even name drops an alien invasion. (Of immortals from Zeist?)



"This improved science and engineering will, whether we like it or not, give us more and more leverage to affect the planet, to control the planet, to give us weather and climate control. Not because we plan it, not because we want it, just because science delivers it to us bit by bit with better knowledge of the way the system works and better engineering tools to affect it." -David Keith
