Well the idea of using a superheavy material to create artificial gravity is a new one for me. However, there are some inherent problems for space flight. Because of the weight of this material, very high power engines would be needed for forward movement. This in turn would probably mean having to store equally large amounts of fuel. I believe this system would only work on large and probably stationary vessels.

Unfortunately science has yet to find a working artificial gravity system. The other two options are just a difficult. The first is using the force caused by acceleration to cause gravity. This would require very high speeds and turning everything sideways so that the people would be properly positioned for normal gravity. The second uses centrifugal force to replicate earth’s rotation and gravity. Once again, this requires high speeds as well as a motor strong enough to turn a large structure. Also the use of this system can mess with a person’s sense of balance, causing motion sickness.
