> Jupiter would block 1% of this star's light.
And ? Not to mention how much it would block is relative to the occluders distance and you're probably calculating it from the longest distance possible, which is wrong. The sun is incredibly huge compared to earth and moon is incredibly tiny compared to earth but it's enough to occlude 100% of its light. Also since a star that big can come about, so can anything that can occlude it, or even bigger ones. (even though 1/3 of its size would be enough to cause %20 dimming)

How would you go about generating super high voltage with super high wattages, like, 100KV and MV range. How do you even handle such high voltages without it arcing everywhere?

I'm not one of those kids that read about tasers and thinks "hey ima build a megavolt gun that shoots giant sparks n rule the world xDDD", I don't even have any intent, I'm just genuinely curious how such high voltages are generated and even worked with?
