i read fall of reach and I still dont get how people are able to stand when there is no gravity. can someone explain?
Dude, the halo story is all sci-fi. There might be such advancements in the future that allow you to do so, but you can't read too much into it.
i know but it just bugs me how everything is explained and how all of it could be possible.. except for the gravity part
Me too toaster, me too. I beleive that a writer somewhere just read this and went like (GOD DAMNIT!!! I KNEW I FORGOT SOMETHING!) lol. I bet its magnetic or something.
yea theres a revolving part on the ship the creates artifitial gravity by centrafugal* force or somthing and the covy ships are a mystery as far as i can tell that info was in another book
That only works if the whole ship is a giant ring that spins incredibafuckinly fast, and the speeds needed are waaaay too high. And the ships arent circular at all... so even though its possible, it wont work with the current ship designs.
Covy ships can be explained by their anti-grav technology. Seen in ghosts etc. Human ships...either centrifugal or maybe its a side effect of the cores required to use slipstream. (when they travel huge distances) Checking Halo Wikia Edit: Centrifugal is only for the Halo rings and early human ships. Edit2: They reverse engineered Covenant technology.
im pretty shure i remember in a book it says that a room was cone shaped (gym), and the colser cheif got to the point the stronger the gravity was, this was just after his augmentation, so it was before the made contact with covies or little contact, and it takes a long while after they make contact for them to take a ship and a posible reverse engineer
I've already written one post about centripetal acceleration today, I think thats enough. Pretty much everything in space in the Halo games, besides the Halo rings themselves, use gravity generators. A sci-fi pet peeve of mine.
