7To the close voters: this is not about real world science, but about the science in The Expanse and how space travel works in that universe. This is perfectly on topic.– SQBCommented Aug 2, 2022 at 7:52

4I don't see where in the quoted text do you see them having gravity without acceleration– Charon MECommented Aug 3, 2022 at 8:32

4The first quote even explicitly states that it's thrust gravity. And the second makes it clear that they had just reduced acceleration for 2 hours so they could have dinner.– Christopher James HuffCommented Aug 3, 2022 at 16:27

4To the people that didn't vote to close: the question seems to make an unjustified assumption that the ship isn't thrusting when it is experiencing G forces. I think the novels are quite clear that the ship is thrusting almost all the time and they only lower the thrust for certain periods to make movement easier and to give them a break from the high-G.– Jason GoemaatCommented Aug 3, 2022 at 20:39

3@JasonGoemaat I mean, it's literally there in the very quote the OP has posted! :D– LuaanCommented Aug 4, 2022 at 6:18

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
