Re: will it go round in circles

In Response To: Re: will it go round in circles (oldmano'theC) : well, the term "artificial" can be used to describe a technique : that has nothing to do with gravity, but has the same general effect, and : could be accomplished without new physics. magnetic shoes could be termed : a form of "artificial" gravity, as could be the centripetal : acceleration effect caused by rotation. my comment was to point out that : "generating a gravity field" isn't in the realm of known : physics, but there may be many options for simulating the effects of : gravity. : perhaps a better term for a "generated gravity field" requiring new : physics might be "synthetic gravity"? In that case, I'm still pretty sure that the ships and Halo do generate "synthetic gravity" that, for all intents and purposes, is equivalent to natural gravity and is not based on centripetal forces. When the Spartans first board a Covie ship: --- They climbed down. John immediately fell down on the first deck. "Gravity," he said. "And with nothing spinning on this ship." "Artificial gravity?" Kelly asked. "Dr. Halsey would love to see this." --- Also, the Pillar of Autumn is clearly simulating gravity somehow without a spinning section. Finally, my most-used quote ever... Cortana: "Captain, the object is clearly artificial. There's a gravity field that controls the ring's spin and keeps the atmosphere inside." The wording of that statement certainly implies that the "gravity field" is something other than centripetal force. :-)
