You’re being dumb on purpose, but unfortunately you’re still nowhere near as dumb as the game. There’s a regular open top ceramic coffee mug hanging from a hook on the side of the coffee machine. It is always hanging “down”. There’s also two cookies sitting on the countertop; they don’t move or float away no matter what you do with your ship.
“No artificial gravity” is just something the devs say to make their game world sound different and “more scientific” than something like star wars. It is not reflected in the game design, the artwork, or the world building at all.
Exhibit C: everybody’s hair. There’s more but it only matters if you think it matters. If you want to headcanon all of it as magnetic smart nanoparticles embedded in everything and pulling all of it down exactly as if we were in 1G on an ordinary day on Earth; fine go ahead and do that. But I personally would call that artificial gravity at that point anyway.
I was aiming for a polymer that works along the idea of strengthening the surface tension.
What you perceive is a 20century Mug, because what other alternative does your 20century brain have to base it.
As you pointed out they point vertically down like they are held in place. It doesn’t even jiggle.
Now ‘some’ might say this is lazy 20th century artist making 3D static 3D art asserts and many might agree. I included Myself in that said group until you called me a special kind of stupid and I would prefer you to rethink insulting people on the internet as that tends to get them to retort
ahem
So if you
really pay attention to the physics of how to handle the Coriolis effect (Inertia working on moving bodies)l - you understand
Already that everything that can be fastened down to any MUST be fastened down or I can float around.
Babylon5 and the expanse showed this off well.
As someone pointed out in one of the final episodes of the second season of B5, Captain Sheridan jumps from the train carriage. Inside the train are handles everywhere and signs warning for low-gravity environment, because the coriolis effect is so weak.
So he can jump out and be almost weightless with very little momentum (except from the jump and the accompanying shockwave of explosion) giving him velocity to gently float to the side of the station which from Sheridan’s perspective is like being lower onto a tread mill filled with city building speeding along at 60miles an hour sidesways.
More to the point, The expanse (season 3?) shows combat manoeuvres when a tool locker door panel wasn’t secured properly and opens up with one pitch and roll, then the tool draw flies open with the next sending nuts, bolts, Screw, screw drivers, drills, wrenches, hammers gently cascading into the middle
Of the cabin.
Then came a flip and heavy burn from the pilot. The tools stay still maintaining their original trajectory, minding their own business just floating around and that damn ship cabin and its occupants just boosted away a few 100m a second.
from the occupants perspective they had mallets and drills flying round like bullets, taking out air-hose pipes and causing damage all over the cabin.

Just a straight up awesomeScene.
so yeah, “cups” do not “hang” they are fixed and secured into place before takeoff,
Otherwise you get some high-velocity FOD (Royal Airforce-term for Foreign object Damage).
Also the mugs on the rocinate stick to consoles and walls because they have magnets On the bases.
Due to surface tension, liquids cling to the surfaces they are in contact with and don’t float around in perfect bubbles like in the Hollywood movies.

So you just need to increase the surface tension to keep the coffee in the cup. But even under
1/3G liquids stay “down”.
Or Are You a special kind of stupid like me who airs opinions without evidence to back them up?
