I can´t sleep so my brain try to solve imaginary problems again:D
I´m wondering how technically and physical gravitation is created on spaceships to have an viable habitat without loosing muscles and have floating things everywhere. In most movie/games people are walking normal (earthstandard) inside the ship, but when they are outside suddenly gravitation force disappears. As i understand is gravity "created" either by mass and its bending of spacetime (like here on earth), by a linear accelaration vector (like in an elevator) or by fleeing force at the end of a spinning object (like water in a bucket you can swing around without spilling it).
So what would be realistic?
If a generator creates mass the ship would be heavier to change momentum, so it needs stronger engines. Also the ship would need the appearence of a sphere with the mass-generator in the center. Furthermore the ship would pull smaller objects to it, collecting stardustand particles.
A linear acceleration would be problematic because you have to always increase speed in the counterdirection you want gravitation. Or is only a constant speed necessary?
The fleeing force is a little bit mysterious for me. The more in the center you are the less you are pushed outwards because of inertia? So to have gravitation on your shipfloor the whole ship must be spinning around a center with a same counterweight on the other side?
Beside in SciFi everything is possible, what are you thinking about this, or have i misunderstood or forget anything, which would explain this problem?
