Artificial gravity

[Kosh]

Does anyone know of sci-fi stories, websites, or theoretical works that speak of creating artificial gravity using a high density core?

When centrifugal force is so much easier?

A "high density core" would create natural gravity on its own. The trouble is getting it moving if you put it on a spaceship, since a ship massive enough to have significant gravity would need incredible amounts of energy for propulsion. To figure out how much gravity it would create, use the gravity equation. (http://regentsprep.org/Regents/physics/phys01/unigrav/default.htm)

Use the dwarf star compact matter theory. incredible mass in small peices. I didn't google it but you can

Does anyone know of sci-fi stories ..that speak of creating artificial gravity using a high density core?I can think of a couple.

If I recall correctly, the gravity in 'Orbitsville' was created by a layer of neutronium.

The craft in 'Wigner's Friends' generated gravity with a collection of point sources. You'd get a sea-sick feeling every time you pass too close to one of the point sources.

Just a couple of examples from sci-fi...
