Would It Be Possible to Simulate Gravity?

Speculative or fictional mechanisms. In science fiction, artificial gravity (or cancellation of gravity) or "paragravity" is sometimes present in spacecraft that are neither rotating nor accelerating. At present, there is no confirmed technique that can simulate gravity other than actual mass or acceleration.

Is it possible to create an artificial gravity field?

Construction. Stretching, compressing, and twisting elastic material can, in principle, generate negative and positive pressures and shears to create the artificial gravity field.

Is there a way to make gravity?

Ryan: As far as anyone knows, there is no way to produce gravity other than with mass. Things that have mass have a certain amount of gravity and will interact with other things that have mass. By rotating a city in space you would not create gravity, you would simulate it.
