For the purpose of the market, I will count only human-sized gravity intentionally generated for at least 24 hours.

Get Ṁ200 play money

Does it have to be human-sized? On smaller scales this was already done, for example with the European Modular Cultivation System (EMCS) on the ISS, with centrifuges to test plant growth at g-forces between 0.001 g and 2.0 g: http://wsn.spaceflight.esa.int/docs/Factsheets/13%20EMCS%20HR%20web.pdf

predicts YES

@dp9000 good point. I had in mind human-sized gravity, yes. I'll update the description in a bit

@Berg The description is still not updated.

bought Ṁ10 of YES

Does this have to be Earth force gravity, or would simulating, e.g., lunar gravity, count?

sold Ṁ7 of NO

@Duncn any gravity would suffice, even a 0.01g , it just have to be generated deliberately and for a prolonged period of time.
