You’re right about 1g: I’m framing things poorly. Thanks for being flexible with your responses! I think it’s clicking better now :) And thank you Bob, I’ll review that thread now!

Wonderful, thank you both! I wasn’t thinking about the velocity changing because of the direction. So if you were to step out of a building on the 5th floor, assuming the cylinder is large enough that the difference in gravity is negligible, once you are no longer touching the building would...

I understand that, because everything is moving relative to one another. However, in a rotating cylinder, you are not accelerating. If you were to push off gently from an object at the center, you wouldn’t accelerate towards the outside because gravity is not a substantial force moving you...

So I'm working on a project that involves the design of an O'Neill Cylinder, and there was a consideration that I had never made before. Say you are in a cylinder that is generating enough force for 1G in its spin. This means that while you are spinning, the motion means that your body is being...
