18. Can we create or control gravity to reduce bone loss? Could we make artificial gravity inside our space hotels, homes and offices? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Gravity can be simulated using centrifugal force; this could be accomplished by using a large spinning ring where people would be forced toward the outside of the ring. Different combinations of diameter and rotational speed would result in different forces.
