Any chance on just getting super dense material form somehwere and putting that at the core of a space station to stimulate gravity effects?

It should work theoretically but where can we buy that stuff?

A super dense material would be super massive. If it were created in orbit somehow, that wouldn't necessarily be a problem. But if it had to be lifted into orbit, enough mass to create useful gravity would be too expensive to put up there.

Sure...but you'd have to have as much as a planet weighs in order to generate one G of gravity from it. Now imagine trying to boost that mass into space...

You just need one of these:

Food goes in, super dense dark-matter comes out.
