Any theories as to how we can walk around in our comfy pajamas or military suits inside Space Stations? Do they produce gravity through centrifugal force or other means?
Also, do our ships have artificial gravity? I can never tell because I'm suspended in the fluid all the time!

There's artificial gravity. Mind that the Caldari are using graviton generators as energy source on ships and planets, so using it for space habitation seems likely.
Rust Creeps (Chronicle) "I'd had enough of the weightless life - there is perfect gravity on ships but in some sections they need to shift you a little to the side to accommodate for their designs, and walking on walls will get to you after a while." |

Yes, all the empires have artificial gravity technology.
Cases:
- Most stations are designed around linear deck plans.
- Most if not all ships are designed with linear deck plans.
- Certain planetary vehicles are designed to use antigravity to hover.
- Tractor beams use gravity manipulation to attract objects.
I don't think the actual method of artificial gravity has been explored in the EVE lore, and I'm no scientician, so for now let's just say it's because of Handwavium.
The sublime and the ridiculous are often so nearly related, that it is difficult to class them separately. - Thomas Paine

I believe it is also inferred in the Chronicle about the Yetamo that artificial gravity is possible.
On a side note and certainly not with intent to derail the conversation that comment about capsuleer/mortal designed combat suits really got a chuckle out of me. They seem wholly redundant in the face of 2.5m tall armoured clones in Dropsuits. |

Yeah just looking at the rows of horizontal windows on EVE ships makes it very clear they must have artificial gravity of some form.

Every time our ships enter warp (or even just accelerate from a standstill to 2500m/s with sub-light drives) within a few seconds you can be pretty damn sure that the people on board are either benefiting from some form of inertia dampeners (which in turn must be working on the principles of anti-gravity) or the unfortunate passengers are being turned into Chunky Salsa by the g-forces.
So if it's possible to accelerate ships and people to extreme velocities within seconds without any negative consequences then it should be trivially easy to create simple earth-like gravity on an stationary station or ship.
tl;dr: yes, artificial gravity as well as anti-gravity must be readily available in the world of EVE or things wouldn't be the way they are.

Artificial gravity is specifically mentioned in the story Khadrea: http://community.eveonline.com/backstory/fiction/khadrea/
And yes we utilize gravity manipulation tech, particularly the tractor beams, so it could be assumed that at least most ships would have artificial gravity. I can't remember what they were called, but I faintly recall reading in some chronicle or short story that some Minmatar and I believe even Gallente and Caldari ships for instance did not have articial gravity, altough the stories could have been describing a time when such systems were not in widespread use. |

That depends... Is your question of extreme or alarming importance or in seriousness?

There is also a scene in The Empyrean Age set in a Minmatar dance club, where the dance floor is actually the dance floor, walls and ceiling in a spiraling pattern down the length of the room. Now unless the Minmatar dance in some particularly magnetic shoes, I would assume this means some manipulation of gravity is involved.
