Gravity?
Could we have some explanation how gravity would work in one of these, as surely if its a sphere areas further from the equator would not experience as much gravity?


 * Well, low-gravity environments might be useful for experiments and certain scientific or industrial processes. Also please sign your posts. Jafet 15:17, 2 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Agriculture can work much better with trees or other product growing faster in low gravity environments, same goes for any low gravity industry 99.236.221.124 (talk) 22:29, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Bernals original proposal
Can we have more detail on Bernals original proposal - eg confirm it was rotating, what rate ? - Rod57 (talk) 09:37, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
