SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of generating artificial gravity in spaceships without relying on rotation or linear acceleration. Participants express curiosity about the feasibility of creating a 1g gravitational field using speculative methods, such as 'quantum accelerators.' The conversation highlights the need for clarity in questions posed about gravity and emphasizes the importance of grounding discussions in established theories like General Relativity (GR) and Quantum Field Theory (QFT). Ultimately, the thread concludes with a reminder of the forum's mission statement, indicating that speculative discussions may not align with its purpose.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of General Relativity (GR)
  • Familiarity with Quantum Field Theory (QFT)
  • Knowledge of artificial gravity concepts
  • Basic principles of spacecraft dynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of artificial gravity generation
  • Explore the implications of General Relativity on gravity in space
  • Investigate current theories and experiments related to quantum accelerators
  • Study the effects of microgravity on human physiology
USEFUL FOR

Spacecraft engineers, physicists, researchers in gravitational studies, and anyone interested in the theoretical aspects of artificial gravity generation.

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.
