Re: Thoughts about sphere worlds
I have always wanted to play baseball (or cricket) on a spinning colony. If you hit the ball in the direction of spin, it would be "heavier" and not go as far. If you hit it against the spin, it would be "lighter" and go farther. Hitting it sideways would cause it to travel in a curve as the "world" spins around you but the ball is floating free.
But a Ring world would be large and fast enought to make these only be slight differences.
