While half-dreaming, my brain produced the thought that artificial gravity could be created by rotating space around a vessel, creating centripetal force without changing its orientation.

That sounds entirely unnecessary but it's funny

@elfi I mean, there's been a few sci-fi settings that had ships with rotating sections to make the artificial gravity for the entire thing. (Babylon 5 comes to mind because I watched that when it was new, and the titular space station had a section that rotated to provide the entire station artificial gravity)

@vapor Yeah, rotating cylinders were popular for artificial gravity, I just had the thought of rotating space itself instead
