《三体》中关于“大撕裂”的一个景象描述没看懂

弹钢琴

情节是行星被撕裂成了两半，成了一个母体和一个伴体，两部分通过岩浆形成的一条河流“藕断丝连”，

Then the lava cooled and turned into rings around the planets, but because of perturbations from the planets, the rings were unstable. The rocks that formed them fell back to the surface in a rain of giant stones that lasted several centuries.... Can you imagine what kind of hell that was?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roche_limit

In celestial mechanics, the Roche limit, also called Roche radius, is the distance from a celestial body within which a second celestial body, held together only by its own force of gravity, will disintegrate because the first body's tidal forces exceed the second body's gravitational self-attraction.[1] Inside the Roche limit, orbiting material disperses and forms rings, whereas outside the limit, material tends to coalesce.

这个环是岩浆凝固形成的石块，后来又再次降落到行星上。本来就是想象的东西，不用看得太细。刘作家说，宇宙就像一本书，看得太认真让人痛苦，读得太快转眼就没了。还是让它慢慢进展吧。
