In virtually all science fiction series set aboard spacecraft, the ships in question have artificial gravity for obvious reasons that is effectively indistinguishable from naturally occurring gravity.
Babylon-5 showed some Earthforce ships with rotating sections (and the Babylon-5 station itself) that simulated gravity.
Besides rotation, what are the alternatives for generating the effects of gravity aboard a ship?
I've wondered, could you have thousands of tiny air vents in the roof of corridors and rooms of a ship along with thousands of tiny air vents in the floor, and use a steady, uniform air flow to simulate the pull of gravity?
Of course, you could have the floor magnetized and have the crew wear metallic footwear I suppose.
