haven't read all the comments...but since we are talking about theoretical concepts here. The "fastest" way to travel would be via an artificial blackhole that was created outside of the ship by the ship. That would be the only way to avoid the accumulative effect of mass acceleration & possibly the constraints of light speed travel. Though, it would do nothing to the time dilation effect.

What about Inertia-less travel? It was mentioned in Arthur C Clarke's novel 3001: Odyssey 3, where every single atom in the ship accelerated and deccelerated with direct proportion to the acceleration and decceleration of of the ship, effectively removing inertia as a limiting factor in light speed travel.

You know, usually in sci fi where they have FTL, they usually use "warp drives". Where you essentialy don't travel at all by manipulating space-time, but in relevance to the rest of existence you would appear to move faster than light. so everything within this bubble would actually stay still. Then there's the inertia dampeners, as they're called in Stargate, at least. So these things seem to be rather common in sci fi.. However, it usually involves some sort of alien technology that uses some sort of magical element or mineral or molecule of some sort. So I guess we just gotta wait for a time when we got something like element zero..

Inertia isn't as big of a problem when you don't actually increase in velocity. Most proposed forms of Faster Then Light travel involve some way of cheating to achieve these speeds with out actually going that fast. You wouldn't have the relative velocity or force behind it, let alone the inertial resistance experienced within the craft. Why do I need an inertia damper if the ship i'm in never accelerates? Granted it'd still be a nice feature for flying around slower then light and accelerating/ decelerating quickly, and would make a very smooth ride with the added bonus of gravity on the ship, but its not like going FTL would smash you either with out it simply because warping space around the ship doesn't actually accelerate it rather then shorten the distance required to travel (Mass Effect as referenced also cheats as all the mass in the ship is reduced so that its velocity it already had now gives it speeds in excess of light) A nice thought, but it ignores the principal of F=MA. Either of these forms of FTL are skipping the Acceleration for warp, or the Mass from the mass effect drive. The body isn't actually experiencing an increase in force.

Another question i have is how can someone accomplish a 'sneak' attack on a spaceship when coming out of 'warp-space' 'hyperspace'. I mean if your calculation is off my a miniscule you may be hours or days away from your target (so the enemy may be able to have dinner and shower knowing you are coming). I mean there are dangers to exiting hyperspace into normal space ie you may hit a asteroid or another ship and also based on some Australian researchers, the 'warp field' would be highly energetic and dissipate a lot of energy giving away your position but more importantly blinding your sensors in this encircling haze of highly energized particles momentarily. So one when attacking a enemy from 'warpspace' you may hit a asteriod r some space debris. 2 You may be slightly off in your calculations and exit into normal space days from your target. 3 Your ship will be temporarily blinded as the energetic particles around you dissipate. 4 the dissipating warp field will release so much energy you would be detected clear across the solar system.

ANOTHER issue is how spaceships having everyone walking in a 1G field. My limited understanding of Einstein's description of Gravity is that is is a curvature of spacetime, but more importantly these ships would need to have the mass of the EARTH somewhere near or in the ship to have the Gravitational field of the Earth. Only way is to have some part of the ship rotating.

Wow. That's kinda peculiar topic. Although author has little more knowledge about sci-fi space travel than a 4-year old kid, but i'll try to make things a little bit clear. Firsts of all - the games. They're unrealistic. You have to deal with that. Although we all love them - that's the sad truth. The second thing is - in most of the sci-fi films, series, etc, people really think of solutions to this G problem. For instance - in some TV series they say you can't travel on FTL speed without a operational shield generator - it basically creates a bubble around the ship that neglects the effect of massive G force that would normally push you, so it's the "bubble" moving, and yet, everything inside stays intact. The third thing - wormholes. Then, when you use the wormhole the spaceship does really move on 2x or higher speed of light. But the people aboard the spaceship don't feel it due of several reasons. Like in first topic - the shield is holding together; And physically your ship isn't moving really far. Think of space as a paper of A4 format. Let's have point A and B. Now, normally you'd say that the fastest route from A to B would be a straight line. And what if someone told you that you could actually bend the paper, so the distance between A and B wouldn't be measured in millimeters or centimeters, but micrometers? The wormhole is that route, although "not on paper", but the fastest one.

Well, to induce a high level of gravity in the front, one could use a dense neutrons, like that of a neutron star can give you enough gravity, off course now the 2nd part would be a structure that would not collapse on itself due to this amount of gravity and having it at an ample distance. So if E= MC^,2 amount of energy exerted on human body of 70kg would be, 81.5 x 10^18kg or 9.5x 10^18 ^G and since humans can survive at 4-5g, the element used should be able to produce 2^18G counter force, the least 1table spoon of neutron star weighs 100 million tonnes, and 1 tbsp is 0.0147868 litre , 21.57 mega liters of it, per human.

The best solution with not that far off technology would be to fill the ship with breathable liquid, thus reducing the stress on your body at an elevated G-force. Then accelerate. I'm not sure how much faster this would be, maybe it'd just take 1 month to reach near light speed.

I'm guessing that in micro gravity (such as the international space station in orbit), the G-force isn't quite as excessive as in a car pulling a hairpin turn. The ISS is orbiting bloody fast, and it doesn't seem to affect the Astronauts up there, is this because of their relative velocity to the craft? In essence the astronauts are orbiting earth themselves, in an ISS shaped box.
@davidstringer7313

g-force is only relative to when you are acquiring the same speed as the space station. The amount of acceleration or deceleration is what causes you to experience g-force. Take for example you are in a car at a stop light. As you speed up to your main travel speed you can feel your body being pressed against your seat. That is the g-force you are experiencing. After you reach your travel speed, you can feel the pressure let off. Why? Because you are no longer accelerating. Same thing with deceleration, as you do a hard brake to a stop, your body presses into the restraints (if you are wearing any, if not...you are probably going to slide out of your seat). That period of time during your deceleration is when you experience a G-force upon your body.

I do have quite a big problem with this video, now im not questioning people who have put ALOT of time and effort into thinking up solutions, but i will say they are going about it in the wrong way, it is infact much simpler then one may think, what creates Gforce is a combination of alot of elements, one of which is Friction, and infact is embeded into all the calcuations but there is a problem.... there is no friction in space, it is ineffect, frictionless, becuase of this, there is no "force" on the ship despite the speed at which it travels, however that is taking into account being outside of a solar system, so hyperspace is a thing.... however inside a solar system (Where there is force... gravity, which can cuase friction on a very minor scale), it gets pretty dangerious, while friction may be a problem there are ways to nullifie it, not the gravity itself BUT the friction it puts on the ship, well... friction creates heat doesnt it? cold... oh wait we are in space, there is ALOT of cold... maybe to much Does anybody have any other ideas?
@rogercoulombe3613

friction is just a force. not much different than the force of a baseball bat on a baseball. G force is a bit different. It is more of a measurement of the internal stress on an object caused by an outside force pushing against it (such as the floor or the seat of your car). Gravity is is the only force that effects an entire object equally (mostly). Any force that either prevents acceleration due to gravity or causes acceleration not due to gravity creates a G force effect on an object. accelerating a spacecraft through any means other than gravity creates a G force that effects the astronauts and equipment. This is part of the reason warp drive are so appealing. because these drives move the ship by bending space time, essentially the same way gravity works, any direct forces this creates on the ship are gravitational in nature and don't create a G force. other stresses are possible (and probable).

Nope, that would be more like the Metagrav drive system from Perry Rhodan. The Warp drive works by manipulating space-time in a way that reduces the effective distance between you and the destination, therefore reducing the amount of time required to get there, while not actually travelling faster than light in reference to local space, so it also doen't violate relativity. Though the term Warp DRIVE is somewhat of a misnomer, since it doesn't actually provide any motive power on it's own, so you additionally need an engine, like a rocket or a fusion drive in order to actually move
