How Can Master Chief Walk in Space?

So I was just playing Cairo Station, and I was walking in the space section of the level, and I don’t understand how chief is able to walk and jump on the station as if there were gravity. Does he have magnets in his boots? How does he do it? And if it was magnets, why can’t he walk “vertically” instead of remaining on the same plane. It’s so confusing.

(Real quick, I’ve already gotten two “joke” responses along the lines of “it’s fiction, just accept it”, which I’d prefer you didn’t respond with. I’m looking for reasonable theories or actual canon.)

I would imagine because of the artificial gravity on the space station. Having the artificial gravity expanded beyond just outside of the station would make EVA’s a lot easier to repair any damage that may occur. You will note that you also see some crates outside that aren’t floating around either, even though they are in space.

Do not question the chief. Physics are no match for him

Just replace “show” with game lol

Yeah I’m just curious, that’s why I asked. I won’t accept “it’s fiction, just go with it”. I wanna know if there’s a canon reason as to why chief can walk in space on Cairo Station.

Do you want something like Midi-chlorians in halo? Pulling at the strings of logic is exactly what leads to bad explanations like Midi-chlorians.

It’s fiction, just go with it.

Did you not see that theory that x N7 117 x provided? It was actually productive to the conversation. The potential for artificial gravity outside of the station to make spacewalk repairs seems like it could very likely be the truth. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if that was canon. Turning your brain off and just accepting everything you’re shown doesn’t do anything. Asking this won’t get us midi-chlorians.

It may be fiction, but I won’t just go with it.

Fine, I won’t question the chief, he breaks the laws of physics due to his awesomeness, that I’m fine with. But what about the Elites? Sure, maybe their jetpacks in that level might be keeping them grounded when they’re alive, but once chief kills them, their lifeless corpses go limp and fall to the ground as if there’s gravity.

I did see that!

A great thing about my Laissez-faire attitude is that we can all coexist. My opinions and thoughts don’t diminish n7 117’s idea or your desire to seek answers.

That’s funny, because I recall you telling me to just accept fiction and by proxy I can only assume you also meant I should stop asking. So, either you’re ok with me asking and I shouldn’t accept fiction the way it is, or, you’re not ok with me asking and I should just accept fiction the way it is. Can’t have both, pal.

I shared a gif from a show called Mystery Science Theater 3000, about some “robots” that are stuck in space with a human. One of the lines in the theme song is the line transcribed in the gif. The show is extremely light hearted and tongue in cheek, it’s not meant to be taken seriously and my use of the gif was not a directive to you.

It was was an attempt at a fun way to share my opinion which has clearly failed. I apologize to you for the poor communication, and will cease posting in this thread immediately so that you can continue fielding productive theories as to how space gravity functions.

Wow, that’s actually really mature. Thank you. I don’t really have too much to say other than I’m sorry I misinterpreted your joke as an actual statement. I’m glad we had this conversation.

You have a valid point.

Spartans do have some sort of magnet suction thing if your still curious. This can be seen in the Blue team cut scene and in a Spartan ops cut scene where Infinity loses its gravity and Palmer is firmly planted on the ground. I also remember reading something about Spartan boots being able to stick on surfaces in the novels. Your do bring up a good point of walking vertically though. Maybe the magnets are not strong enough to hold Chief vertically? I mean he is 1500 pounds after all Or maybe like x N7 117x said the stations gravity probably extends beyond the station. Hopefully this somewhat answers your question :slight_smile:

I mean, unless there was artificial gravity, lifting chief “vertically” with the magnets wouldn’t be a problem because in space direction doesn’t matter. When I put vertically in quotations it’s because I’m referring to the direction that is, in relativity to the station, going “up”. I have a feeling that it must be what x N7 117x proposed, as that seems to be the most likely answer, but I’m still curious as to what the canon says about that one level.

Oh sorry. I thought you meant vertically like spider man on a building. I didn’t realize you were still talking about vertically in space. My bad ignore what I said about that. To clear things up Spartans do have magnet things but Chief probably doesn’t use them because of the stations gravity extends into space like x N7 117 x says. To answer your question about the canon they didn’t mention the level specifically just the Spartans having magnet things on their feet.

Master Chief has magnetic boots so that’s why he can walk in space
now the elites I dunno probably like @xN7 117x said the stations gravity extends out into space

Master Chief actually warps the fabric of space and time for about a mile wide, making weird stuff like that happen

There’s a tiny black hole in the middle of the space station that exerts a gravitational pull on everyone. Obviously.

If there was a tiny black hole, there would be no space station.
