Hello Robert - 

MM>> I was wondering whether centrifugal force would be a

RS> I would think that centrifugal force would work in two ways. 

I recently read an article that was 'headlined' to be that the
cat's purring caused it's bones to heal faster. I _think_ it
was in this same article that they mentioned their interest was
for bone-loss of astronauts due to zero gravity and that
centrifugal force is not a sufficient substitute for gravity. I
don't recall the article specifying _why_ centrifugal force was
not sufficient only that it wasn't and the search was
continuing for other solutions to bone-loss. 

I could hazard a guess that gravity is modulated and not a
constant? Just a guess based on the context of the two pieces
of information re:vibration aiding bones when healing and
centrifugal not being a direct substitute for gravity.
Centrifugal would definitely be a straight line function and
not modulated AFAIK.
