Life on earth evolved from simple single cell organisms into complex multi-cell life forms over billions of years by adapting to the ever-changing environment on our planet. Through all these changes, one thing has remained constant, the force of Earth’s gravity. In all living organisms, their up-down and left-right asymmetry, structural strength, size and shape of force-producing elements, sensory systems and how they age have evolved with a constant compass, 1g force.
What if we subtract that 1g force? Would cells/organisms live shorter or longer, would they become structurally stronger or weaker, would they develop more or less disease, would medications we use to treat disease have more or less effect? In the vast majority of cases the answers here are…we simply don’t know.
