How full of people does our solar system have to become, to cause massive destruction to it?
It's the far future. Humans are still! increasing in population. We have developed habitable orbital structures and terraformed any planet we possibly could.
We reached the maximum potential for human life in our solar system, and then started importing more raw material from nearby solar systems (and galaxies, if that still isn't enough) using drones. Sure, it took a long time for the effort to pay off, but now we've got a stream of mass coming in, which we use to create more and more room for ourselves.
Our solar system is now an extremely busy place. It's gotten so busy, in fact, that on one eventful day - all the extra mass has caused catastrophic destruction.
What would be the first catastrophic thing to happen? How much mass would we have had to import?
