Part 5/10:
The discussion further advances to the idea of Shell Worlds, encompassing three types of structures based on how they maintain integrity and gravity. The rigid structure could leverage orbital rings to alleviate the need for a mass-heavy core, while balloon-like designs could utilize internal pressure to sustain gravitational forces.
In concert with advanced materials and technologies, these shell worlds could support habitats that are not only immense but intricately designed. They also represent less resource-intensive alternatives compared to mass-heavy spherical planets.
