Spin gravity in space has never made sense to me. While yes, here on earth we have gravity and yes if we spin water in a bucket the water stays on the inner surface. However, that happens because there is the existing gravity of earth where particles push on each other. However, in deep space, do we still rely on the weak gravity of remote stellar bodies? Does this spin gravity exist if there is no atmosphere contained within? What exactly would push objects down that are not touching the outer wall outward? On earth we are on the outside edge of a sphere. What keeps us from flying off into space? Is it the constant speed and rotation of earth traveling across the galaxy? If earth suddenly stopped all movement , would gravity cease?

Not sure I agree that 24/7 light is going to be a problem. I worked in Antarctica during the summer for 5 months when it was 24/7 sunlight. It's really not a problem. You're outside or in offices with windows during the day. Then you come inside or go further into the station during the night time to eat, have some drinks with friends, watch a movie, etc. That's mostly in rooms that have no windows. Then you go to sleep in a room that also has no window. You're body just sort of assumes the sun has gone down. When you wake up and go outside again it's sunny. Sun cycle wise it felt really similar to being at home.

@lukasmakarios4998 9 месяцев назад

Your "collar" connecting a rotating torus with a stationary hub does not need to be pressurized. You can have a transfer pod that moves to flip from the inner ring to catch the outer ring, like a ball bearing. Then the pod can go to an elevator spoke and slide down to the habitat. Only the pod is pressurized. The air in the hub and the air in the habitat don't mix. The interface is empty. Of course, when you open the pod some transfer occurs, but you could stop that if you need isolation.

@partciudgam8478 9 месяцев назад

transfer pod is not necessary, you make an unpresurized hollow shaft for moving cargo and personell, and a hole on the hub to another unpressurized section on the spinning wheel, below that, a pressure chamer, but it will be messy considering the need for lubrication, thermal shock, and continous rotation. personally I'd be partial to a hammer style station for research, have a couple labs tied by a high tensile strength tether, and set them to spin like a bola, then vary the length of the tether to make experiments at different gravity settings. when you stop an experiment, you wind up the labs, stop their spinning and tug them back in.

@thomashiggins9320 9 месяцев назад

This is actually a good approach, and I'd imagine something like that would get used on huge rotating habitats. (The idea was used in The Expanse at both Tycho Station and on the Nauvoo/Behemoth.) It's not practical for smaller habitats or most spacecraft likely to appear in the next several decades (at least). Still, those short passages wouldn't have much air to lose, anyway. Also, as Isaac said, all stations leak, so while you'd want to minimize it, some leakage would probably just get written off as a cost of doing business

@arcadiaberger9204 9 месяцев назад

@c0sine_theta But if you use a transporter to beam from a microgravity environment to a rotating one, momentum is conserved, and you'd slam into the wall or ceiling when you arrived, quite possibly hard enough to injure or kill you, or even punch a hole to the outside. This is called the Niven Effect. The lack of consideration for this phenomenon is one of the most egregious scientific flaws in *_Star Trek._*

@davidwuhrer6704 8 месяцев назад

@@arcadiaberger9204The Star Trek transporter controls look pretty complicated. There must be a reason it isn't a push button or voice activated like almost everything else, and needs at least one human operator in the loop. And the ships are supposed to have inertial dampeners, which should adjust momentum. Maybe that's why transport isn't instant (like in I Dream Of Jeanie.) So I'm not convinced that Star Trek ignores momentum, even though it is never mentioned explicitly. But it seems like a missed opportunity for fun effects.

@@CountryLifestyle2023The Flat Earth Society has members all over the globe. The original intent was to get people to question their own beliefs. Why do you think the Earth isn't flat when the horizon looks pretty flat? Do you trust the words of others more than your own eyes? It's a fair question, but unfortunately, too many people seem to take it to mean that there is a conspiracy obscuring the fact that Earth is flat. (I blame religion using the same logic to justify belief in what they're selling: That there must be a conspiracy of atheists obscuring the obvious "facts".) How do you know that Earth isn't flat? I know it isn't, but how do _you_ know? Everyone agreeing about it doesn't make it so, people agree on a lot of things that aren't true.

My intuition is that plants should be more vigorous under spin gravity. The lesser gravity at their tops will aid in capillary action, making it easier for them to transport water and nutrients from their roots to their leaves, with less support structure needed to hold those leaves up, leading to bigger healthier canopies.

@UrdnotChuckles 9 месяцев назад

Enclosing future stations, ships, and habitats to effectively have no windows makes the most sense. That would be best for safety, radiation mitigation, and helping everyone maintain good sleep schedules. But yeah, we'd definitely still want a few observation decks. :) On the subject of early adaptation, I imagine people heading out to our first settlements will likely need to do a lot of prep work. Getting all their immunizations up to date, getting all their teeth fixed, getting health issues taken care of, etc. I'm sure there will be medical care even on the first outpost, but if folks can avoid all but major issues before hand that would likely be ideal.

@robertgraybeard3750 9 месяцев назад

at ~12:34 you reminded me of the extra Q & A I attended after the regular Q & A after a presentation by Gerard K. O'Neill at a local college while on book tour publicizing his The High Frontier: Human Colonies In Space. He said one of his grad students had "done the number" and concluded that one of his colonies with a large enough focusing mirror would be fine a light month out in the beginning of the Oort Cloud.

@virutech32 9 месяцев назад

I guess that's technically true but needing like 20.18 km^2 for just a single kW is pretty insane. At 10g/m^2(some light aluminum foil) that's 201.8t or 201.8 kg/W. Not great, but especially for postbiologicals this is still probably servicable & no need for fuel imports as long as the sun shines & u aren't shaded.

It could be the case that some developmental process in human embryology requires our gravity very specifically to determine where to divide certain stem lines. Raise gravity too much, and your eyes are in your mouth. Lower it too much and you get one eye on the top of your head. You might establish your colony only to find nobody can produce living offspring, and it might not be immediately obvious the gravity is to blame.

Megamaid might work if it uses gravity devices instead of a vacuum, particularly if Druidia is a small planet (explaining the air shield). A one-person unenclosed spacecraft is certainly possible. Space bikers would be forever getting lost in space and colliding with stations, and probably not all that fun to ride, since they'd likely have fairly low thrust motors.

I keep wondering why rotational habitats on planetary surfaces are almost completely overlooked. It’s always planetary surface gravity vs centrifugal ”gravity” on orbital facilities. A 1g habitat on Mars, for example, would be a simple upscaling of machines that have existed for centuries on Earth-1. A car moving on a banked circular track or 2. A large-radius centrifuge. Both vastly easier to engineer than an orbital rotational habitat, especially given that humans have millennia of experience in engineering both small and mind-bogglingly enormous structures, both fixed and moving, in a gravitational environment.

well thats bioforming and outside the scope here. Buuuuut we have built rotating hab's on earth, operating at greater then 1 g, and you can actually adjust to the effects of higher RPM's as far as nausa goes But the coriolis effect creates other problems, walking can be un-predictable leading to people just walking in 90° motions either towards/away from the center of rotation or perpendicular to it, throwing things becomes very difficult and changing the weight of an arm by carrying something can easily throw the person off balance. And that might actually be beyond the scope of implants, and there might be other issues, as you would have fairly diffrent forces acting to push your blood and body downwards between your head and your toes.

6:30 The Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone was either the first, or one of the first hotels built west of the Mississippi River to be built with electricity in mind. The hotel was built in 3 phases with the first phase being built in 1903. Two wings were added in the 20's and 30's, and are much more modern hotel rooms. The oldest part of the hotel was built in an era when the vast majority of people lived in places without electricity, so most of the guests in the hotel would be experiencing electric lighting for the very first time. And lighting levels in the hotel are very low compared to what we are used to today. But it more closely matches what you would find in the typical hotel of the late 19th Century. The "newer" sections of the hotel are much more brightly lit and are, frankly, much more comfortable. So yea, we are used to having plenty of light on demand, but 125 years ago this was very much not the case.

09:26 For me, yellower lights makes me feel unwell; only untinted white light feels right for me (though slightly bluer tints do feel less worse than anything with a hint of yellow).

The trick is to create a diurnal cycle people can live with. That’s why more people talk about Mars with it’s 24.6 hour day than Venus with its 235 day day…

I’ve enjoyed your video’s for some time now, thank you for all the insightful and might I say inspirational information. I’ve a question for you and your crew. What are your opinions on the numerous videos of suspect air bubbles, Bride of Frankenstein hair and cgi wire work among numerous other anomalies presented to the public as taking place in space. I’m not expecting an answer to this not so perplexing quandary. So please don’t jeopardize your job or professional standing to address these concerns. I do so like your videos and want you guys to be able to keep producing more.

Thanks to my swivel chair, I work in a spin habitat, even though my work desk is rectangle. Just did a spin for no reason here at work while I listen to this through my earbuds
