$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / I myself have dreamed up a structure \ | intermediate between Dyson spheres and | | planets. Build a ring 93 million miles | | in radius -- one Earth orbit -- around | | the sun. If we have the mass of Jupiter | | to work with, and if we make it a | | thousand miles wide, we get a thickness | | of about a thousand feet for the base. | | | | And it has advantages. The Ringworld | | will be much sturdier than a Dyson | | sphere. We can spin it on its axis for | | gravity. A rotation speed of 770 m/s | | will give us a gravity of one Earth | | normal. We wouldn't even need to roof | | it over. Place walls one thousand miles | | high at each edge, facing the sun. Very | | little air will leak over the edges. | | | | Lord knows the thing is roomy enough. | | With three million times the surface | | area of the Earth, it will be some time | | before anyone complains of the | | crowding. | | | \ -- Larry Niven, "Ringworld" / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
