Just a thought and theory about artificial gravity in #scifi, in shows like #StarTrek.

If you have artificial gravity, you could in theory have an open-top ship, since the gravity would stop the air from floating away.

@lydiaconwell you could, but imagine the occasional solar wind whistling across the top like breath over a bottle, or maybe a warp-speed version of having one window of your car rolled down. Maybe they just don't do it because the noise is too annoying. Picard (at the top of his voice): "I SAID MAKE IT SO! WILL SOMEBODY CLOSE THE ROOF!"

@lydiaconwell I nearly had Picard swearing in that last post, but actually he'd still keep his cool, wouldn't he...

@brian_burton That's how Picard lost his hair. He was on the maiden voyage.

@brian_burton Although, 'breath over a bottle' kinda sounds like it would be a pleasant sound.

It's could be a singing open-top ship.

@lydiaconwell @brian_burton My dad used to tell kids he lost his hair because he didn't wear a helmet riding his bike. It was effective propaganda.

@ivanvector That was to show how cool he was/is. @brian_burton
