==Trivia==

*In all of the ''Halo'' games, all human vessels or stations seem to employ sophisticated, unseen artificial gravity generators to simulate gravity, as opposed to rotating sections. Originally, it was widely assumed that the UNSC gained their current artificial gravity technology from the Covenant, and had to use rotating centrifuges to mimic gravity prior to this. According to ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', human ships were still undergoing tests with reverse-engineered artificial gravity by 2552, while newer sources such as ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'' portray artificial gravity present even on automated freighters.

*[[Wikipedia:Eugene Podkletnov|Eugene Podkletnov]] has claimed that he has designed a device that can create artificial gravity. In contrast, a group funded by the [[Wikipedia:European Space Agency|ESA]] claim to have developed a device that reduces the effect of gravity. The validity of these claims are unclear.

*Artificial gravity is a popular concept among science fiction novels, television shows and films, but attempts to explain their workings are usually implausible, involving gravity field generators.
