"The Slow and Steady Pace of One Revolution Per Minute"
TL;DR Summary
Erik Wernquist's short film, "One Revolution Per Minute," explores the concept of artificial gravity in space through a large, rotating space station. While the idea is intriguing, the constantly spinning views and moving light and shadows could be nauseating and uncomfortable for human passengers. Despite the possibility of building such a structure, its practicality for long-term human habitation remains questionable.
