: I've always been troubled by the discrepancies you mentioned, too.
: The problem with this is that, if there was no warp technology involved, the
: acceleration and deceleration required to travel 11 light years in 35
: years time would subject the human crew to a continuous gravitational
: force of approximately 5 G's, if I've done my math right. You couldn't
: stand under that kind of gravitational force - your heart couldn't pump
: blood to your brain. Now perhaps we will have learned to create artifical
: gravity fields by then to counteract the effects of acceleration, or
: perhaps we will have some degree of limited warp capability based on
: transporter technology - just not to the point of FTL travel. Oh well,
: it's all sci-fi anyway.
but wouldn't that be the same case for a 322 year voyage to travel 92 light years? They are the same rate of travel, 3.25 years per light year. If they are at the same rate of speed, then the longer journey would subject the crew to the same G's, only much longer, no? That would imply that there IS some way of counteracting the G forces on the Marathon.
Are there G forces in space travel? What creates the gravity?
