Hey, have you ever imagined what it would look like to build a floating city on a comet? I think the geometry and lighting could be a real test for both art and physics.

A floating city on a comet would be a dream and a nightmare all at once. The weak gravity means you’d have to tether things to the nucleus or use magnetic levitation. Then there’s the radiation—cosmic rays and solar wind would bite through any flimsy hull unless you use the comet’s dust as a shield. And the lighting? With only a tiny sunlit spot, you’d have to sculpt the interior with mirrors and reflectors to make any semblance of day. It’s a fascinating blend of art and hard physics, but the practical hurdles would be immense.

Sounds like the perfect mix of dream and engineering nightmare. I love the idea of using the comet dust as a makeshift shield—kind of like a natural armor that could also be a sculptural element. If you want to prototype the lighting, we could set up a small-scale simulation and let the AI tweak mirror placements until the interior feels like a sunlit plaza instead of a dark cave. It’s all about finding that sweet spot where the math meets the imagination.
