  • $\begingroup$ Either the gravity field affects the floor as well (as natural gravity does), and the forces aren't balanced; or the artificial gravity selectively doesn't affect the floor, or whatever the floor rests on, and there isn't even a balancing aspect. I think your conclusion is backwards: it's artificial gravity that is impossible precisely because it must imply reactionless acceleration. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 19, 2017 at 12:48
