Re: justa notha theory of the spin
Posted By: GrailCWB <grailcwb@mac.com>Date: 6/27/02 10:21 p.m.

In Response To: justa notha theory of the spin (Saber)

: I have a new theory.. if you can call it that. Seeing how halo is a
: "built" object, I believe that its rotation is synthetic. The
: "Fore-runners" who built it probably set it to spin at a certian
: speed in order to simulate a certian gravity (Which by the way, breaks
: every law that Newton came up with). The centrifugal force of the spin
: pulls objects on halo towards itself. So in theory i guess if you were to
: float a foot above halo's surface, you would not be affected by the
: centrifugal force, thus, defying gravity. All this senseless talk has no
: real answer or direction. But I do find it humorous when i drive the
: Warthog off a cliff and end up falling faster than the warthog itself.
: NEWTON PEOPLE... NEWTON!

Well, I suppose it would be pendantic nit-picking, but when you jump your momentum carries you up, and also forward, due to the spinning of the ring, so that you intersect the ring again. It depends on how fast the ring is spinning, but you may not be able to tell the difference between jumping forward on Halo (assuming the rotation is the generator of the gravity and not a peculiar side effect of the same) and jumping forward on Earth. Although how the Ghost, and especially Banshee keep positions relative to Halo is a quandry...
