I was talking about this
I interpreted this as "smaller things drop faster than larger ones", which would mean that somehow, acceleration due to gravity is not constant as it is in the real world. Actually, Random_Overlord's system would make more sense if the force applied is constant, because otherwise bullets cannot drop faster than people if they have less mass.Russt Wrote:Actually making such a chamber wouldn't be too difficult to do. It wouldn't require any advanced technology, just a rotating circular hallway with a slanted floor.
How would this increase gravitational force on objects floating in the air? How would this increase gravitational force in the system Random_Overlord described?
