A variety of opinions...


Jeffrey Meyer  <moriarty@uw-june>
	I believe that this is an aspect of Trek that was never
	fully explained... it is always refered to under that won-
	derful buzzword "artificial gravity" (rather like artificial
	intelligence), and was generally clumped under life support
	systems.

	My speculation: They use the matter/anti matter reaction in
	the warp drive to somehow create a gravitational field.

	The Enterprise has gravity plates everywhere, in fact,
	gravity plates are used to counteract the affect of normal
	acceleration.  You know that weird station on the bridge 
	where they have some extra on occasion?  That's the gravity
	control console.


Thanks to all who reponded.
