AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of gravity in spaceships and the International Space Station, particularly focusing on the possibility of creating a 1g gravitational field without relying on rotation or acceleration. Participants express curiosity about artificial gravity and the potential for innovative solutions, such as "quantum accelerators." There is a call for clarity and refinement of the original question to facilitate deeper exploration of the topic. The conversation highlights the need for constructive feedback on speculative ideas related to gravity generation. Ultimately, the thread concludes with a reminder about the forum's mission statement and rules.

Any thoughts on gravity in spaceships or the international space station that is not rotating or accelerating speed

What are YOUR thoughts? What is your question? What research have you done on this?

Welcome to PF.

The same gravity that is accelerating the spaceship in its orbit or trajectory, will be accelerating the contents of the spaceship, and you, at the same rate.

We certainly wouldn't want him to do any thinking on his own.
He is new here, so I am being lenient. That OP question will need to be refined, and that will take some thinking. Maybe we will find out why the question was asked, and what the question should have been, by which time the answer will be obvious.

I too would like to hear Willie Oz expound a little bit on what thoughts he has on gravity - presumably, he's thinking about either artificial gravity or microgravity or both. But I beseech him for clarity.

I haven’t done anything about it, i am just curious, I am trying to find out if someone is investigating to create a 1g gravitational field that doesn’t include rotating or accelerating speed

I m exploring a speculative concept for generating 1g artificial gravity in spacecraft — not using rotation or linear acceleration — but through what I’m loosely calling ‘quantum accelerators.’ I’d love feedback or constructive criticism from people more grounded in GR/QFT

That is not what this forum is for - please take a look at the forum mission statement in the rules.
