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.

Can artificial gravity be created?

Dave: In space, it is possible to create "artificial gravity" by spinning your spacecraft or space station. ... Technically, rotation produces the same effect as gravity because it produces a force (called the centrifugal force) just like gravity produces a force.

Is there artificial gravity on the ISS?

In fact, the force of gravity does act on objects in the ISS although they appear to float freely, as they would in deep space in the complete absence of gravity. ... It is clear that although gravity continues to act, objects in the cart experience a state of weightlessness due to their trajectory.
