They just happen to be the same angle. I guess they do line up after all.

Now even if we were stationary around the sun, will all the planets aligned like the science class model, what keeps an object from coming from above - you think all objects come from the sides therefore they have to go through all the planets? No. And since we "follow the sun" we chase it, with the sun being actually in front of us, with us chasing it around though the galaxy
If it comes from the sides then yes, it will be almost certainly deflected by something... if it comes from the front, the sun and its gravity pull is your shield, if comes from the sides, jupiter saturn are your shields because of their pull...
Its a theory... but people never think that something can come from above (or in this case from the front) - Its like startrek when they want to "leave the solar system" they go through mars jupiter saturn etc etc... but thats just to see the sights... in reality they could shoot upwards and leave the solar system as well - its not a 2d system based on X and Y...
EDIT: of course its not a 90 degree angle but you get the idea...like you're inside the Enterprise and shes tilted enough to give you the 90 degree angle illusion - but still you get the idea of "Z axis" motion...edit on 20-2-2013 by FraternitasSaturni because: (no reason given)

1. Go outside.
2. Find some petrol.
3. Find some X-mas lights.
4. Remove all your clothing.
5. Burn all your clothing with the petrol.
6. Decorate your naked body by wrapping all the X-mas tree lights around it.
7. Run circles around your burning pile of clothes, flapping your hands, screaming about the end of the world.

I tried this but I had a hard time keeping the lights plugged in.

A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure originally described by Freeman Dyson.
[color=cyan] Such a "sphere" would be a system of orbiting solar-power satellites meant to completely encompass a star and capture most or all of its energy output.
Dyson speculated that such structures would be the logical consequence of the long-term survival and escalating energy needs of a technological civilization, and proposed that searching for evidence of the existence of such structures might lead to the detection of advanced intelligent extraterrestrial life.
Would'nt a completely enclosed star 'cook' itself? no where for the heat to disapate to ?I think the 'sphere' would eventually melt, or get blown apart from a mass ejection.

I don't even want to think where you may have tried to plug them into...

Reminds me of Fringe which I'm a huge fan of.
