In the entertainment industry, not many people know about science. Nor do they read. They only know to watch other movies, and copy them. So it's a very slow affair for anything new to infiltrate the system...
I'm mildly curious how many more reboots of the Hulk will appear in the next decade
scale on a Galactic dimension, mind bogglingly huge
But the "Ring" is quite unique both in terms of what it is, and in terms of its scale. It's not the size of a galaxy. It is 100X the diameter of a galaxy
And in the context of the book, Baxter pulls it off. The Ring is not made of normal matter - it is a single strand of cosmic string that is woven from the compacted debris of dozens of entire galaxies. In fact, the Ring actually is the "Great Attractor" which is pulling our entire chunk of the universe toward it in a huge stream (this is real BTW, and astronomers do not know what is causing it - as far as I know).
I highly recommend the book
LOL and I thought the ring world was big, thats"INSANELY CRAZY MASSIVE BIG".
It's a mind bending series, but Baxter puts it all together in that one book.
