Would there be any adverse effects on the tissues of living organisms in a 
manned space station that was spun to produce centrifugal force 
for artificial gravity?   Could the tissues or cell structure of a animal 
become distorted over long periods of time spent under these conditions?  
Would such effects be subtle in nature or large enough to lead to disorder 
and disease?
