quote:
Imagine yourself and an object with a gravitational pull of 5 G pulling you toward it. Now, we accelerate you and the object at 6 G. You will only feel 1 G. Suppose the object is pulling you at 7 G and you both are accelerated at 8 G. You will still only feel 1 G.
Dwelling on this thought, suppose we possess neutron matter. The neutron matter is put in front of the ship. The more the ship accelerates, the closer you are automatically put toward the neutron mass. When you decelerate, the ship automatically pulls you away from the neutron matter.
In which case you are not only accelerating the spaceship, but also the mini-neutron star. This takes
immensely more energy than just accelerating the spaceship, only reinforcing the point that you would need a new, inexpensive energy source first. Also, the "neutron matter" needs to be far enough in front of the spaceship that its gravity gradient won't rip the ship and people apart.
All of this is correct, but there's more.
You would have to continually adjust the distance to the object as you did your acceleration and deceleration. Unless you magically go from 0 g to, say, 20 g, while at the same time and just as magically bring the compensator from a safe distance to the correct distance to balance 20 g.
I guess if you believe one you can believe the other, eh?
Must be some other way to do all of this that we haven't thought of.
