There’s nothing “micro” about the gravity. It’s nearly the same gravity as on the surface of earth.

It’s either zero g (no gravity) or free fall depending on your perspective.

Yes I realize it's almost identical amount of gravity as the surface of the earth but it's also commonly referenced as micro-gravity in this context. Hence why I used the term. But thank you for your input.

Yeah and I’m saying that term makes no sense. So let’s not propagate it.

Too late. It's already in many scientific books & dictionaries.

Take your argument up with them.
