Is Ringworld a good book?
Ringworld is one of the most original stories I have ever read. A beautiful balance between fascinating characters and adventurous challenges. True story telling at it’s best by one of the genre’s greats. The story takes place sufficiently far enough in the future to allow anything to exist or happen.
Does Ringworld have a sequel?
Its backdrop is the Ringworld, a giant artifact 600 million miles in circumference around a star. The series is composed of five standalone science fiction novels, the original award-winning book and its four sequels: 1970: Ringworld. 1980: The Ringworld Engineers.
Can Ringworld exist?
To get Earth-like gravity, the Ringworld would need to spin at nearly three million miles per hour. Very fast, to be sure. But in a frictionless space environment, it could be doable. The ring could work up to that speed over time and then maintain it with little additional thrusting.
How did they get off the Ringworld?
In it, the ring is found to have a system of attitude jets atop the rim walls, but the Ringworld has become gravely endangered because most of the jets have been removed by the natives, to power their interstellar ships.
How big is the Ringworld?
The Ringworld is about one million miles (1.6 million km) wide and approximately the diameter of Earth’s orbit (which makes it about 584.3 million miles or 940.4 million km in circumference), encircling a sunlike star. It rotates to provide artificial gravity 99.2% as strong as Earth’s from centrifugal force.
