Sir author c clark’s Rama series has inspired me in a way, that no other thing I had ever done. It's a four book series.
RAMA is a giant hallow cylinder, with a totally new world inside. It has its own gravitational field inside it, created with the help of centrifugal force generated due to its rotation. Central axis has the lowest centrifugal force, which is zero and the surface has the highest which depends on the radius and the square of the angular velocity of the cylinder. So you can feel at earth on the surface and the space at the axis.
Nicole des jardine, a French physician who has an African origin comes to play in the last three novels. She's not just a physician but also an Olympic winner in long jump. Her skills as an athlete become vital in the survival of man kind inside this giant cylinder.
RAMA has its own sea, bounded by two walls perpendicular to its central axis. if you haven't read the book, it will be really enjoyable to imaging how all this fix to gether.
One of the walls is higher than the other, guess why??
To accommodate the acceleration. isn't this great!!
This story goes on beyond a new civilization inside RAMA to unravelling the actual intention of RAMANs who created RAMA.
If you haven't read the whole series, you are missing a lot!!. So hurry up and read. and comment on this page. thanks for reading!!
Now they are going to relaese a film based on the first novel in 2009. and i'm really exited to watch that film. Morgan Freeman will play the role of Captain Norton.
