there's a lot of problems in my life that would be solved by having a zero gravity chamber in my house. maybe several. also the cats would love it!

@aeva I'm wondering what kind of problems you have that a 0G chamber could fix

@aeva The main problem being there not being a zero gravity chamber in your home?

Imagining zero gravity is so strange to me. On the one hand it seems like ultimate relaxation but on the other I feel like you could never relax at all.

@h5e you'd be able to relax every muscle without your joints ragdolling apart

@aeva yeah but part of relaxing is also being pushed against something. Too bad you can’t easily experience weightlessness, I would love to.

I think the gravity setpoint is constant for my building. I'll have to ask the condo board about it later

I wonder if anyone's ever refused to come back down from the international space station

@aeva reminds me of going to a Waterpark as a kid, getting to the top of a slide and refusing to go down cause it was so high up. That's gotta be freaky as heck getting into a capsule to fall back to earth

@demofox XD see where I thought this was going was simply not wanting to leave the water park because it's so much fun

Also it's funny how if you want to go live in Antarctica, the place where time famously does not exist, they'll let you just go there and they have jobs normal people can do, but if you want to go to space the place where gravity famously does not exist, they only let you go there if you can be put in a centrifuge and spun violently without your limbs ejecting or something. Discrimination.

@aeva Gravity only applies to cats below a certain velocity - the "classical" phase.

Above that they enter the "zoomie" phase and gravity really doesn't apply - all movement is achieved by either direct impulse or claw stiction.

At even higher speeds they of course just teleport directly from one place to another.
