If you watched the movie, you will probably understand what I meant since it’s part of the ending scenes where they need to grab some oxygen from the tanks.
If you didn’t, let me “try” to explain: their ship is composite by two endings connected by long poles with a solar panel in the middle. Something goes wrong and they need to move from and ending to another ( let’s call it Point A to Point B). To do that, they start to “climb” outside Point A these poles until they reach the “middle” mark, and then they start to descent, like the gravity was inverted, until they reach point B.Is that a real physical contempt? If so, what’s it’s called and how it works?
PS: the spaceship is spinning during their whole voyage to Mars.

I haven’t seen the movie, but if it’s not “magic” scifi, then the only way to feel “gravity” in space is to basically have a space ship rotating like a centrifuge, with the residents walking around on the inner rim of it. If you climb through the ship to the other side, “gravity” will appear to flip around once you get past the halfway point.
If this isn’t what happens in that movie, then the method of gravity generation is just pure fantasy and terms relating to it will likely be too.
