Can we create artificial Earth’s gravity on every planet?
Generating artificial gravity, even on the surface of other planets, is definitely possible, but with a few caveats.
The difficult thing would be to artificially cancel out the gravity of a planet more massive than the earth.
It would require either an object with its own appreciable gravitational field, which is currently impossible to construct, or a continuously free-falling habitat, an idea that is already more feasible but equally problematic.
Living on a planet with less gravity than the earth’s is, on the other hand, absolutely possible. It would be sufficient to be inside a rotating cabin.
In this way, the resulting centrifugal force and the planet’s gravitational acceleration would vectorially add up to emulate a gravitational acceleration equal to that of the Earth.
That gravitational force would be felt only on the habitacle’s internal “pavement”, that would have to be tilted accordingly.
