In Response To: Re: Forerunner tech (NthDegree256)

: I believe I read that a spin fast enough to create a centrifugal
: gravitational force would end up shearing the atmosphere off of Halo and
: make it very difficult to land a ship on.

since the atmosphere is on the "inside" it would be held down by the same force.
Atmospheres have mass and are subject to Newtonian forces. What keeps Earth's atmosphere from being sheared off by centripital (out from the center) force as opposed to centrifugal (in towards the center) force? Gravity.

: Besides, in FoR, Cortana's initial analysis of Halo indicates that it has
: artificial gravity devices, and 343GS mentions "gravitics" in
: the Library when he leaves you at one point.

Didn't read FoR. Still seems a long way to go when you get the "gravity" for free by putting a little spin on HALO
