Gravity 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/G

- 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.
