Gravity on Earth varies about .7%.

Increasing the acceleration a little bit more than that (eg to 1%) would make a difference.

Wouldn't that be only a few months on a decades-long journey at 1.01G vs 1G??


I 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.
