This is an awesome video, basically showing how things would look like from different parts of the Earth if we had massive planetary rings like Saturn does. Also explains why it would look as it would in different places. Gives a good sense of perspective of the sky and shit.

Obviously it's not 100% accurate but for the sake of doing it, it's pretty good.

Reminds me of a dream I've had once, that the earth had a massive artificial ring used as a force shield generator with the ring as the control node.

You could see the explosions from comets and asteroids crashing on the shield and instantly vaporizing. Along with seeing the huge artificial ring like in the video!

What would it take to create a ring like that around earth?

possibly a collision with a large comet or another rocky planet.  It would inevitably spiral into the Earth eventually though, much like Saturn's rings will one day

If that's a "normal dream" you must have epic dreams

Well I've also had dreams where I lived on man made ring-worlds like these:

Too bad having rings around our planet could potentially mess with the entire satellite system we have.

Sexy! But I don't think that the Earth's rings would be as impressive as Saturn's because the rings get that white-gold colour from the sun's rays reflecting off the frozen gases and ice surrounding Saturn. Since we are closer to the sun and have much "warmer" temperatures, won't the ice melt and the gases be thinner resulting in a dull, rocky ring? Still will be amazing to have a ring system around us.

Off topic - Ayres Rock? Shouldn't it be Uluru now because the Aboriginals wanted their original name used for it?
