‘Artificial Gravity’ explores the compelling need for simulated gravity in space travel and habitation, addressing the detrimental effects of weightlessness on astronaut health, such as bone density loss and muscle atrophy.
The book examines various methods for creating artificial gravity, focusing on rotating structures and linear acceleration.
It explains how centripetal force in rotating habitats can mimic gravity and analyzes the challenges of sustained acceleration for interplanetary travel, making complex physics accessible to a broad audience.
The book progresses systematically, beginning with a review of gravity research and the biological impacts of microgravity.
Later chapters delve into the physics of rotation, linear acceleration, and physiological considerations, evaluating the body’s response to these artificial environments.
It uniquely connects physics, engineering, medicine, and space exploration to provide a comprehensive understanding of artificial gravity’s potential, including space tourism and settlements on other planets.
