| 32 | | In the early 21st century, scientists at the CERN in Geneva, Switzerland have found the source of gravitation in an experiment with their LHC. They were able to simulate strong gravitational forces without the presence of large masses. As this technology has been refined and commercialized over the years, newer spaceships and space stations could afford to use it to build artificial floors without having to rely on centrifugal forces as artificial gravity. Newer spaceships and space station are therefore not built like cones or cylinders, but rather like planes or houses. |

Small spaceships like fighters and bombers have no artificial gravity, because the pilot does not move around in the ship. |
