All Dragon Ball fans know the Augmented Gravity Room, an area in the Capsule Corporation spacecraft where gravity can be altered to expose the body to intense physical exertion. In the Toriyama series Goku and Vegeta often used the room for training, but would that be possible for a human?
Oddly enough, it was the Dragon Ball official website that gave an answer. in the opinion of Professor Yutaka Hirata. ask, Neuroscientist and bioinformatician at Chubu University in Japan. The researcher discussed how the room worked with Masayuki Kato, a science teacher and interviewer, and answered the fateful question.
Hirata stated that they are being developed in the place where he works Anti-G suits and other tools for pilots in the Japanese Self-Defense Air Force who were often exposed to 2G gravity for testing purposes: “It sounds simple, but moving in 2G gravity is no walk in the park. The body weighs twice as much and an immense effort is required. Scratching the nose is also a challenge. Sitting in the wrong posture can break some bones, and the blood supply to the brain sometimes slows down, leading to fainting. We originally did 3G gravity tests, but cases of unconsciousness were so common that we were forced to lower the levels“.
In Dragon Ball, severity levels reach 100 and 200G, and in some cases even 400G, but what would happen if a human body were exposed to this stress? The scientist replied: “Gravity 100G means that you can carry 100 times your body weight. Fainting becomes the slightest problem all bones would be broken directly! […] If this force were applied to a person in an upright position, the heart and lungs would immediately stop functioning and the person would immediately lose consciousness. The damage to the body would be irreparable immediately, and even if they weren’t there, it would still be impossible to move! In a board of the manga, Goku tries to crawl some strength off by crawling, and while I have to say it’s a brilliant solution, it wouldn’t change much in the end.“.
Today gravity is no longer a problem for Goku and Vegeta their combat level is practically the same as that of the gods. In the past, however, the gravity space was widely used and has certainly contributed to the growth of the Saiyajins. To think that people like Yamcha survived such challenges can only suggest how high the level of the Z Warriors is, especially when compared to normal people.
We all remember that Goku and the others grit their teeth from intense training in high gravity environments, but would it actually work in real life …?
