Most notably as both Scrith and Twing can be reshaped to pass through thanks to a softening device (Pak) or a cziltang brone per the Ringworld. As revealed in Ringworld Engineers, the "shadow squares" also provide a shielding to the inner surface of the Ringworld when someone in the control room uses a magnetic field embedded in the Ringworld to fire the meteor defense system. Basierend auf Larry Negans gleichnamiger Romanvorlage aus den 1970er Jahren entführt die Amazon-Serie Ringworld weit in die Zukunft. (This merely gives a name to the sufficiently advanced technology that would have to be used.) The Ringworld is an artificial world with a surface area three million times larger than Earth's, built in the shape of a giant ring-shaped ribbon a million miles wide and with a diameter of 186 million miles. The Ringworld series is a series of science fiction novels written by American author Larry Niven.It is part of his Known Space set of stories. Leider ist Ringworld derzeit bei keinem der auf Moviepilot aufgelisteten Anbietern zu sehen. Ringworld's Children (2004) Deutsch: Hüter der Ringwelt. The Ringworld is an artificial world with a surface area three million times larger than Earth's, built in the shape of a giant ring-shaped ribbon a million miles wide and with a diameter of 186 million miles. He notes in the dedication of Ringworld Engineers that at the 1971 World Science Fiction Convention MIT students crowded the hotel hallways chanting "The Ringworld is Unstable!" Due to its enormous strength, scrith is impervious to most weapons. 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: If such a structure were built it could indeed provide a huge habitable inner surface, but the energy required to construct it and set it rotating is so significant (several centuries' worth of the total energy output from the Sun) that without as-yet unimagined energy sources becoming available, it is hard to see how this construction could ever be possible in a time frame acceptable to humans. They are also not in inertial orbit, and must be actively stabilized as well. In the fourth book in the series, Ringworld's Children, he creates backplot explanations for several of the imperfections in his original design of the Ringworld — and wholly glosses over others, such as that Louis Wu is worried about his dietary intake of salt since only the Great Oceans are described as being saline. A "Ringworld", or more formally, a "Niven ring", has become the generic term for such a structure, which is an example of what science fiction fans call a "Big Dumb Object", or more formally a megastructure. Ringworld has a habitable flat inner surface equivalent in area to approximately three million Earth-sized planets. Larry Niven Wiki is a FANDOM Books Community.

This point gave Niven some difficulty after he published his first Ringworld novel; he was deluged with letters pointing out that "the Ringworld isn't stable" and dedicated the first sequel to a resolution of this problem. The construction of a ringworld remains firmly in the area of speculation. The shadow squares provide another of the imperfections "clarified" in Ringworld's Children, as five shadow squares of greater length, orbiting retrograde would provide a better day-night cycle, with less twilight.
