In a circle, you're in an accelerating reference frame and in theory your body can't tell the difference.
The amount of exercise you would have to do to even begin to remotely keep up with earth's gravity is insane.
Separately, how does aging fair with zero g? can really old people live longer up there or is it actually worse?
- WalterBright 2y agoOur bodies are exquisitely optimized for the surface of the Earth. Any deviation from that (gravity, sunlight, gas pressure, gas composition, radiation, etc.) is likely to be deleterious. This does not bode well for expanding out into the solar system. It might only work if we do some genetic engineering to make off-world habitats more habitable.
