Gs don't help much if limited by the speed of light in vacuum. Speed above the speed of light in vacuum is more difficult, more useful to travel long distances, and if achieved using wormholes etc., we may not need high Gs to travel long distance.

E.g. you want to travel 100 light years. At 1 g, you can reach the speed of light in vacuum in less than a year of acceleration (350 days or so). Then you keep traveling for more than 98 years. Then at 1g, you start decelerating almost a year before reaching your destination.

Now assume infinite G, not just 100G. It saves less than 2 years of travel time even if you can reach the speed of light in vacuum instantly. 100G will save even less time than 2 years.

We need roughly 100 years, give or take 2% to travel 100 light years whether we accelerate at 1G, 100G, or infinite G.

Edit : during the acceleration and deceleration phase, the average speed is c/2. So the distance travelled in a year is half a light year. So we can reach anywhere in the universe if we can handle the G forces of 1g - and we will be only a year late than some other species that can handle infinite G.

The physics we know doesn't apply to aliens. They use different physics. Pity you do not know this.

Had you watched Interstellar you would also know that time also passes differently.

The aliens all want to come to this end of a nondescript galaxy is because, we are the only flat planet that swims through space on the back of a giant turtle.

Better stop with your nonsense, and submit that aliens exist.

Yes, so true. In the long running Dragonball documentary, Goku the alien can teleport from another planet to Earth in an instance. No need for physics or space ships. And he also uses G's to do pushup's and squats to power up. Plus he uses kamehameha light to destroy stuff. Damn aliens.

Once copied, even if perfect, its still a clone of you. For everyone else it can be a substitute of you. But its not you.

It will be moving one's conscience to new device, eg, Avatar 1 pod and alien humanoid without disability.

I dont remember Avatar, it was such a forgettable movie.

But yeah, unless you believe in ghosts/soul perhaps and if it actually existed maybe it could be done, but otherwise these are clones.
There is no physical thing that we can call consciousness.

Even star trek transporter, to me, is cloning. It destroys your cells and creates an exact copy.
Just because its an exact copy and only 1 exists does not mean you are not dead.

Anyway ..

Could you also help us with the energy requirement for continuous 1 g acceleration of 1 kg mass for a continuous 1 year period?

‘Super-Earth’ discovered — and it’s a prime candidate for alien life

Astronomers who have analysed two decades of data declare that a planet called HD 20794d is among the closest matches to our own

www.thetimes.com

A prime candidate for hosting alien life has been discovered in close proximity to the Earth, orbiting in the habitable zone of a star similar to our sun.

The planet, known as HD 20794d, is 20 light years from our solar system, making it a near neighbour in a galaxy that is 105,000 light years across. It has ignited excitement among astronomers who had to analyse two decades of observations to confirm its discovery.

Of more than 5,800 identified exoplanets — those in orbit around stars beyond our own — the new discovery is “among the closest Earth-analogues we know about”, researchers said.

Not possible with current tech humans have.

We are talking about a hypothetical Alien race who has no problem travelling hundreds of light years. You have to ask in their forums.

I feel so lost reading this... like I fell into a deep dark abyss of the unknown. Can someone please explain this in simpler language for a non-Science background student?

AI to the rescue:

1. **Traveling Limitations**: When we talk about space travel, the speed of light (the fastest speed in the universe) is a big limit. No matter how much force (or "G") we apply, we can't go faster than that.

2. **Journey Example**: If you want to travel 100 light-years (a huge distance), here’s how it goes:
- If you use a constant "G" force (like what you feel on Earth), you can speed up for about a year. After that, you cruise at a high speed for about 98 years before slowing down to stop.

3. **Effect of Higher G-forces**: If you could push yourself with incredibly high forces (like 100 G or even more):
- You might think that this would save a lot of time. But surprisingly, it only saves a bit—less than 2 years—even if you could reach light speed instantly!

4. **Overall Time**: Regardless of whether you accelerate at a normal "G", a very high "G", or even an imaginary infinite "G", it takes nearly the same amount of time—about 100 years—to travel 100 light years.

5. **Speed During Acceleration**: While you start speeding up and then slow down, your average speed is actually about half of light speed. So even with high forces, you won't reach your destination significantly faster.

6. **Conclusion**: If we can handle normal gravitational forces (like what we feel on Earth), we can still reach far-off places in space after a long time—just a year longer than if we could handle extremely high forces.
