Mag boots?

I guess, in theory, you could ball up said piece of paper and lob it at the “floating” 1T object ... some of the inertial energy from the moving paper ball would be transferred to the 1T object (unless you miss - can you get gimballed paper balls?!) and some would be transformed into heat due to the friction of the impact. If you threw it hard enough then maybe the 1T would start to almost imperceptably

Exactly how hard you would have to throw the paper I don’t know (there was a time when I probably could have worked it out but nowadays I, frankly, can neither remember nor be bothered ...)

One things for sure, if you weren’t mag-booted to the ground then the act of hurling the paper that hard would send you flying backwards and, likely, send you into a forward rotational spin around your centre-of-gravity until some other force acts on you to stop that.

Like smacking into a wall or being thrown out by the station police for messing about with physics experiments.

The speed would be the fraction of 1 ton divided by the mass of the paper at its speed (assuming a direct hit, etc.), but here we'd be talking mass, not the force of the weight of a piece of paper here on Earth.

In zero-g, I simply define myself as the centre of the universe and rotate the world around me with up and down always being defined the same, up being above my head and down being below my feet. Simple as.

Most likely your head will not agree :D Because of blood pressure it will feel like it is down.

The real question is: what will happen to the character's hair? Will it float in 0g? Mag hair?

I somehow doubt you're going to be able to manually turn it on and off though, ie. the boots will just work like magic when you're in the Outpost. I'm kind of hoping that's not the case but that would be my suspicion.

Almost certainly.

Again, look at the footage we have been given thus far. There is absolutely no footage of characters walking on ceilings or walls.

Until that changes, assume it is not happening.

Why people here are making up unfounded gameplay scenarios based off nothing at best, directly against given gameplay footage at worst... Well, they're gonna' be disappointed. Honestly, not my problem if they are.

Reservations are good.
