« on: June 18, 2019, 07:05:33 PM »Gravity in the ISS is about 90% of what it is on the earth's surface so it is nowhere near zero gravity. While it doesn't affect your question about how to simulate microgravity I think it is important to be accurate while battling scientific ignorance. Some members of this forum love to seize on these little details to derail a debate.*sigh* Yes, you seem to be one of those members.
The ISS is in a constant state of free fall as it orbits the earth. As a result of this constant free fall, anyone or anything inside the ISS experiences a condition generally referred to as zero/micro gravity. Now, if everyone is done being pedantic *****, would anyone care to explain how to simulate such an environment for days or weeks at a time?
I'm not sure how plausible this is, just pure speculation, but what if you gave someone a haptic ballasted wetsuit and a waterproof VR headset and stuck them in a chamber filled with a water solution (to decrease viscosity) with waterjets on the walls.
