  • It wouldn’t be enough. Sure you could use magnetic boots to keep you “attached,” to the outside of a magnetically affected spaceship’s outer hull, though I would imagine that with the lack of atmosphere and magnetic field to protect you from space radiation we may be inclined to use materials that aren’t necessarily magnetic in nature.

    All that was to say, yes it would possibly work as a backup tether, but since nothing is pulling on the rest of your body it wouldn’t simulate gravity as much as simulate a tether rope that keeps you from floating away.

    Inside the ship it is easier to pretend to be a parkour expert than having magnetic shoes.









  • No worries, oh one more tip. When re-stringing your violin or viola, hold it so that the chin rest is pointing away from you, and at around a 45° angle. If, for some reason, like the pegs being tight and unwaxed, you over tighten the A or E strings too much they will snap. Generally along the direction of the fingerboard, and generally toward the top of the string so the string-turned-whip travels, generally, along the direction of the fingerboard and away from your face. Violins and violas kinda hate their existence as far as I can tell.
