The only way to create gravity anywhere is with large amounts of matter. In a space ship, or space station, gravity is simulated by the use of centrifugal force as a result of spinning the station about an axis.

Gravity can't actually be created artificially, it can only be simulated The most common idea is to have a spaceship in the shape of a ring which is consantly spinning, creating centrifugal force. The effect will not be noticeable, unless one looks out a window and gets motion sickness from seeing the stars spinning all crazy.

Gravity can't truly be created artificially, it would want to in common words be simulated the most worry-free theory is to have a spaceship interior the variety of a hoop that is consantly spinning, starting to be centrifugal rigidity. The result isn't significant, except one seems out a window and receives action ailment from seeing the celebs spinning all loopy.

The ship would have to spin around its axis fast enough to simulate earth gravity. It would be angular acceleration (a change in direction as the hull rotates, but not a change in speed) that the space travelers felt, not gravity, but since the two are physically indistinguishable it wouldn't matter.

If you spin it about its axis, you can have a sort of gravity that will hold you against the outside. At least that is what they do in science fiction. Scientifically, it works. Just don't look out the window if you get motion sick.

Gravity would be created by creating super dense matter in large quanities and placing the matter at the center of the ship. That matter would form the gravity.
The super dense matter would be created through particle accelerators and electro magnetic chambers that would compress matter together at enormous magnetic pressures.

I do not think that we can make gravity in spaceship but we can use the Microgravity of objects and the Microgravity of spacecraft it self

Yeah, guys spinning is great!
But explain to me what happens if a shuttle wants to dock the station???
Will the station just stop for a while and things inside start flying around? or the astronauts just have to jump into the gate *realy* fast :)

A magnetic shoe will do the job. Magnet attach metal plate and I can walk perfectly. Energise one shoe when halt, lift off the magnetic function of another shoe to make a walking step.

By rotating it continuously
