Can spinning spacecraft create artificial gravitation?




The fact is that artificial gravitation is not the same as gravitation on Earth. The artificial gravitation that is made by using spinning structures bases the centripetal force. 

That means things like the Coriolis effect are things. That makes artificial gravitation a different type than so-called normal gravitation. When something is dropped in the spinning spacecraft that thing will drop by screw trajectory. 

And the fast-spinning spacecraft can cause nausea for people on board. The spinning structure is the only way how to make artificial gravitation. If we want to send the crew to other planets we need artificial gravitation. Without a gravitation field, the muscles of the astronaut will turn weak during the spaceflight that takes years.  

If the muscles are getting weak after space flight that person cannot operate on the surface of the planet. There is the possibility that the spin of the craft is not very fast if it is used only for anchoring things on the layers. In that case, the gravitation is used only to determine where the spacecraft's roof and floor are. 

There is introduced one of the most interesting visions of artificial gravitation. In that vision, while the craft is in the middle of the space between planets or stars the spin would be very slow. The muscles of the crew will turn weak. But when the craft is approaching its target speed of spin will increase. And that thing turns the gravitation stronger. 

When we will send the spacecraft to another planet. Artificial gravitation is the vital element of that things. The travel to other planets will take about a year if the destiny is Mars or Venus. But to the gas giants, the journey takes a longer time. And the only way to keep the crew in condition is the artificial gravitation. Or the remote-controlled robot can make that kind of mission. 

Things like social problems make manned missions inside our solar systems difficult. And, of course, the journey takes years. That means the crew must spend a considerable period of their life in the space. These kinds of things are even more difficult to solve than simple technical solutions that are needed in long-term space missions. But maybe someday humans will make the first bases on other planets.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
