Think about that.Depends on the radius. The 2001 station would have needed just 0.5 - 1 RPM
I'm not sure this applies. We're talking centrifugal force as opposed to gravity.How to Calculate the Force of Gravity on the Earth’s Surface - dummies
You can use Newton’s law of gravitation to get the acceleration due to gravity, g, on the surface of the Earth just by knowing the gravitational constant G, the radius of the Earth, and the mass of the Earth. The force on an object of mass m1 near the surface of the Earth is
F = m1g
This force is provided by gravity between the object and the Earth, according to Newton’s gravity formula, and so you can write

The radius of the Earth, re, is about 6.38 × 106 meters, and the mass of the Earth is 5.98 × 1024 kilograms. Putting in the numbers, you have

Dividing both sides by m1 gives you the acceleration due to gravity:

Newton’s law of gravitation gives you the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the Earth: 9.8 meters/second2.
Of course, you can measure g by letting an apple drop and timing it, but what fun is that when you can calculate it in a roundabout way that requires you to first measure the mass of the Earth?
and DNA changes after a year in space.
But what force? There is no resistance in space right? No atmosphere or air so what force would apply against the panels?If spun, all the solar panels and extraneous bits would have to be built to endure the force.
I think that there is an enormous cost to countering the gyroscopic effect of a spinning disk as it orbits a large body like the Earth.No doubt it isn't. I just don't get why. Cost? Technical restraints? Risk?Why? Isn't the point of false gravity to simulate light gravity and bypass the need for external measures?They would need to be magnetized.
I don't think the space station is designed for the perimeter to be used as a floor. That might be something to consider if another is built.
All objects with gravity are due to its magnetic core and the field of flux..Normally an iron core...Just like in yer transformers.Why? Isn't the point of false gravity to simulate light gravity and bypass the need for external measures?They would need to be magnetized.
Gravity is created by mass, of course centrifugal force is the topic.I'm not sure this applies. We're talking centrifugal force as opposed to gravity.How to Calculate the Force of Gravity on the Earth’s Surface - dummies

If you're not familiar, take a bike tire and find a way to hold the axle part of the wheel, then spin it real fast. Then, sit on a stool that can turn and turn the wheel. You'll start turning as the centrifugal force exerts itself.
ETA:
Start at 24 minutes to get to the bottom line of a spinning disk and its force.
yes, but a rotational force (centrifugal) is not a force created by mass but by motion. This motion has a force that can be applied. This is how gyroscopes work, but they are different forces.Gravity is created by mass, of course centric all force is the topic.I'm not sure this applies.

It's syntrifical force which is the same thing I'm talking about.You've never stuck to the wall of a spinning barrel at an amusement park have you lolAll objects with gravity are due to its magnetic core and the field of flux..Normally an iron core...Just like in yer transformers.Why?

that is not really gravity
if it was we all would be flung off the face of the earth
And if not for the gravity of the earths mass we would fly off as a result of the rotation.
Start at 24 minutes to get to the bottom line of a spinning disk and its force.
Once again, this is NOT IN A VACUUM!

actually centripetal force is what is required in your space ship to create artificial gravity
I thought you were smarter than thatThey would need to be magnetized.
