Is this being claimed as novel? I am suspicious of-the word truss when the link is a tie. Rotation as artificial gravity? Who knew?

When we realize that patterns don't exist in the universe, they are a template that we hold to the universe to make sense of it, it all makes a lot more sense.

This is my mind would put more stress on the system as the truss would be strong in a rotational basis.Originally Posted by profloater
ETA: von Braun conceptualized a rotating disk in the 50's for Disney.
