Elite's Next Technology Breakthrough!

Artificial Gravity.

 

[Vardaugas]

It's actually easy to achieve. You only need to build an object of enough mass to create the amount of gravity that you want. Ta-da! Artificial gravity.

It wouldn't be artificial then...

 

[Vardaugas]

It wouldn't be artificial then...

But the object that creates the gravity is artificial, so the whole gravity is created by an artificial device. Same as with any other device you would create artificial gravity with.

No he's right if you build something big enough to have it's own gravity it still wouldn't be artificial gravity. A device would have to produce artificial gravity.

Backs out of topic slowly.

 

[Sysmon]

Artificial Gravity.

Or windshield wipers?

Backs out of topic slowly.

Artificial gravity pulls you back in.

 

[M00ka]

Oh artificial gravity - confirmation of the imminent addition of Cockpit Cats

 

[Sysmon]

Why does it have to be artifical? Can't we have organic gravity?

[Midian Cabal]

There's no gravity. Earth (and other objects) suck.

 

[CMDR Redcrest]

There's no gravity. Earth (and other objects) suck.

They are also flat. Some, apparently, well informed people on the internet said so..

 

[Lightspeed]

It's been done already: self raising flour

That's Aunty Gravity surely? She makes great pastry!

 

[Old Duck]

My ships already have AG when in supercruise, provided by the FSD. I just "shift the frame" a bit more under the ship than over, and poof, gravity!

I can prove my ships have AG - just look at the passenger cabins in the outfitting screen. It's obvious they are designed with gravity in mind!

Er, I mean not to mince words... but that's not actually artificial gravity. You're just making... gravity at that point?

Some large persons I know have that.

 

[Midian Cabal]

Fools. It's hollow. How else would it suck?

 

[Bloodsign]

Fools. It's hollow. How else would it suck?

Hollow with a black hole inside?

Well due to the porous nature of the dryer bits, commonly referred to by fools as 'land', the space vacuums attached to the underside pull things down through the many tiny holes.
You can prove this dead easily with the sort of science they don't teach at schools by virtue of the vast conspiracy started by a Scottish Cloakroom attendant Angus McCoatup.
What you need to do is pee on your neighbour's garden and watch as the water falls through the holes in the dryer bits under the layer of moisture.
My neighbour is in on the conspiracy and has chased me off his property a number of times. He even uses the secret police against me. They've been round my house several times spouting off about "Urinating in a public place" "Breach of the peace" "Aggravated wetting" and such. All sirens and flashing lights. Best place for the secret police to hide is in plain sight!
This is also why Ostriches have long necks. It's because their heads get sucked into the dryer bits by the space vacuums.
Boom! Now that's proper science! Bite me 'NASA'!!
