Why can’t we create our own gravity, like lab created gravity. Isn’t gravity just a big object pushing down on some sort of “plane” ?

Others are saying no, and I agree. But you could manufacture swinging similar.

If a spaceship was a big ring rotating at the right speed it would effectively push you towards the edge (like a fast roundabout, you’d slide off). This could be calibrated to replicate gravity as we know it at a limited scale.

It’s a very common science fiction design for ring space stations.
