Haha.
It could be called an asteroid belt. -

Like.
One key parameter that combines both functions is the minimal friction coefficient required to hold an object at a fixed latitude. -

Not needed if you take an anabolic steroid = a-steroid.

Shouldn't seatbelts be mandatory when travelling by asteroid?

In physics, 'Coriolis force' refers to the whole 3D vector. In Earth sciences, the vector is often decomposed into the surface...

Aha. I'm used to planets where this effect is not important. It's called the Eötvös effect. My God, I spelled that correctly!

The shape of the chamber is completely irrelevant. You can have a Coriolis force without any chamber, just by adopting a rotating...

If you threw a ball to a person ahead of you, would the ball plunge towards their feet. If you threw the ball to someone behind you...

There would be a wicked Coriolis effect. This effect is very weird : the first few papers on it back in the 19th century were wrong.

I am very short of time so I will just briefly note "Generating the fermion mass hierarchy at the TeV scale" (Arkani-Hamed et al) I...

Just a small comment that if you spin up a natural occurring asteroid to provide "outward" pointing gravity near the surface then...

True, though - hang glider-ers have the sense (and room) to do it over uninhabited regions, not over populated regions (not a lot of...

People on Earth are flying around using hang gliders, paragliders etc. I have never heard anyone suggesting placing safety nets all over...
