How would artificial gravity panels affect spaceship design? [closed]
Assuming these are panels that can be plastered anywhere that would be convenient, how would spaceship design change?
Would every wall be covered with them so it's all effectively floor space?
Would ...

Could gravitational wave interference patterns be used for long range sensors detecting advanced spaceships?
Low energy, fantastic range
From HDE in another topic, I learned gravitational waves have an intensity which is inverse proportional to distance, not square distance, like in electromagnetic fields..

How does a spacecraft function despite it's own (non-centrifugal) artificial gravity?
Haven't done shipbuilding in a while so let me start simple. Sci-fi spacecrafts all tend to have some unexplained method of generating artificial gravity, which keeps the crew nice and cozy. The more ...

Inside an o'Neill cylinder, would an enclosed room feel the same "gravity" as an open space?
I know that the "gravity" in an O'Neill Cylinder is from Centrifugal effect. Calculated by:
F=mω^2r
F is centrifugal Force
m is the Mass
ω is the Angular velocity
r is the distance from ...

Is it believable to have a spaceship spin around a weight for artificial gravity?
In my narrative universe, there will be ships that use a 1g acceleration for artificial gravity. However, when they are not accelerating (whether on a longer journey at a constant velocity or simply "...

Spin gravity on an abandoned ship
If a cylindrical rocket ship with a diameter of about 350 meters were spinning on its long axis, would more than just the interior surface of the outer hull have artificial gravity?
The ships decks ...
