Oh I wasn't planning on using that in the story, it was just a though

Actually that's an interesting point for my story, If I have say 20 chunks of superdense matter with cities perched on top would that be enough to alter the rotation or orbit of mars? I didn't plan to have them at even intervals or anything, just on the nice flat areas so would that create an imbalance?

Does anyone have links to some really high quality maps of mars? The best I've found so far are far smaller than I want. Has anyone got links to better ones?

I'd have thought the rotation would increase our weight rather than decrease it. Hmm, I've just come up with a zany scheme to lose weight! Step 1: Halt earth...

I think I might go with the superdense matter. Hmm, there's a thought, I was planning to make a pretty major city inside the domes so it'd have the skyscrapers regular cities have (I think I've just decided to call them Domescrapers though), would the gravity extend far enough to cover the top floors? It might make an interesting scene to have lower gravity on the top floors.

Well I'd prefer it to be plausible, the only thing I'd thought of is some kind of undreground rotating ,echanism or superdense matter

For a story that is. I'm writing a short story set on mars and I want a gravity generator that works inside the domed cities so I don't have to deal with low gravity conditions. I plan to have a scene or 2 outside the domes so I can use low gravity conditions but for the majority I want near earth gravity. Effectively want I want is magic that works only in the domes, I don't need anything super technical since I plan to gloss over it but I'd like something that's not totally implausible.
