So that you can stand on the lift, and not get head trauma every time you want to travel to a lower deck I'd assume.
Comment on If the kids didn't mutiny, would Picard have been killed when the turbolift fell?

I know the writers just think of them as elevators, but why are we generating artificial gravity in a turnolift shaft just so we can overcome it with another generated force?

You would just generate gravity in the lift pod itself.

Kinda related, I’ve been saying for years we need more “the gravity plating is out” episodes where everything is floating around, bumping into shit, causing problems. We got one scene in enterprise and that’s it. :/

The expanse really nailed the whole gravity thing. The explanation was entirely within the realm of science, and the low/zero g scenes looked amazing.
thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 11 months ago
oh man, when the entire fleat gets stopped in place and it’s a massive problem because everyone went flying and now zero g is making their blood pool badly even with minor injuries… they turned what most shows would’ve shown as a minor inconvenience and showed how awful it would really be.

I really need to watch the expanse.

It's an interesting show, but make sure you've got good sound: I found the accents difficult to parse without it. The series was abruptly terminated, so don't expect a neat ending.

I mean, as far as the older shows, it was probably too expensive to produce “gravity-free” episodes?
I did really enjoy them using the gravity being turned off in Subspace Rhapsody!

that is extremely hard to film. unless you go on the space station or the vomit comet, you cant really do it convincingly to begin with
