We can't necessarily survive that well when under acceleration greater than 9.81 metres per second per second for extended periods of time.

- lostlogin 7d agoGravity on Earth varies about .7%. Increasing the acceleration a little bit more than that (eg to 1%) would make a difference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Earth

- lostlogin 6d agoI was thinking of journeys that are hundreds or thousands of years. If the acceleration was too great but survivable, what happens? I can’t imagine my back, knees or ankles would like it.
