Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.
It may be less about what the centrifuge can do and more about the culture surrounding centrifuges. It’s my impression that people who are in a position to be using a centrifuge balance them out of habit. Even if they don’t need to.
Not balancing them (in the event that it is a self balancing one) may be similar to computer science debates about tabs vs spaces. A difference that’s more cultural than important.
I could be wrong, biology isn’t my field. This is just my impression from having watched this debate play out several times.
Then you don’t know that there’s such a thing as a self balancing centrifuge.
People who get hung up on this particular detail need to get over it.
Pretty sure @Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world was kidding :)

That one was not a self-balancing centrifuge.
It was a fictional centrifuge in a fictional world. 🙄
