I'd argue this has incredible artistic value. And I think that was the point.

Why?

I suspect that atmosphere composition makes different options more or less viable.

The difficulty/cost getting to orbit probably also would influence where a space elevator lands in terms of developmental priority.

Trick here is you need to volunteer something spicy first to lay the foundation that it's safe to be spicy.

If you come out of the gate with spicy questions without calibrating what spicy is, expect plain answers regardless of the quality of the questions.

Relatively low hanging fruit is to get them to weigh in on a disagreement with two spicy sides... if it's framed as being between you and someone you respect already, and you volunteer your own spicy take, that provides the safety for the other person to get involved

Post hoc ergo propter hoc

Everyone is doing a terrible job of explaining, but they're right.

Gravity, 1G, is described on terms of an acceleration. 9.81m/s2.

What is an acceleration? Is is the rate of change of a velocity. If a velocity changes slowly, it means the acceleration is low. If the velocity changes quickly, the acceleration is high.

Now, imagining a record player. Or cd player. Or your spinning wheel of choice:

You know that points farther away from the center are moving faster in absolute terms compared to points closer to the center.

Because the points farther from the center have a larger velocity, that means after some rotation, the total change of velocity for the outer points must be larger than the change of velocity for inner points. So, points farther away must have greater acceleration.

So, the apparent acceleration changes according to how far things are from the center point. This is why it really isn't the case that it would be 1G everywhere. 1G is a specific acceleration, if if we've established that acceleration isn't constant across the radius, then it can be 1 G only at one spot, not all.

There was recently a "design proposal" (more of a published thought experiment) I read (posted on lemmy) where the authors had figured out the diameter required such that the gravity differential from feet to head wouldn't be weird. It was quite large if I recall.

Really wish there was the complete data set rather than just looking at the immediate run up to the dot Com burst, and then from that peak to the trough of the aftermath of the 08 crash.

My idiot cat loves vacuums. Dives in front if them like they're security taking a bullet for some VIP.

She wants to get vacuumed. Makes hair management pretty easy since she'll enthusiastically let us vacuum the source.
