I ask these questions because I really have am clueless when it comes to science.
How might a human being be affected by living on a world with a lower surface gravity than Earth. Lets sat 0.5g ?
What effects on health? Would a person be light headed or suffer nausea? Can a person become acclimatised? In the Traveller Universe would there be any medication or implants to overcome adverse effects? Would a person be able to walk normally?
What if the surface gravity were greater than Earth? Say 1.5g?
What effects now? Would a person's joints (especially hips and knees) be under stress (requiring joint replacements at a failry early age)? Would wearing clothes made of normal textiles feel heavy? Would walking long distances require lots of stamina? Would a person be required to excercise more in order to keep fit? Would vehicle design be very different from those used on world's with lighter surface gravity? Would the difference between 1g and 1.5g actually be quite negligable?
Anything that can be contributed, especially in regard to the effects of light surface gravity, would be appreciated.
