In the tree tufts there is 'gravity' and in the mid-trunk area there is zero g. How is this possible. The tree doesn't rotate end for end, one end is always toward Voy. Can anyone out there explain it in a relatively simple manner? Thanks Ahead, John Dewing P.S. I thought it odd that in the seamingly male oriented society on London Tree that the Scientists Aprentice was female.
