Okay, first thought.
Extreme Acceleration at high speeds
Okay, don't ask how I ever came across this. However, I was thinking about the fact that it's impossible to accelerate to a certain highspeed in a certain very short amount of time without being ripped apart due to the G forces put on your body as a result of the acceleration.
However, I was thinking that there has to be some way around this. How would you stop your body (or anything for that matter) from being ripped apart upon almost instantaneous acceleration to high speeds.
In thinking of this, I came up with a theory. Although I have no idea how this would be perfected in real life, it seems like it could work on paper.
Imagine a car attached to a rope. If that rope was attached to a rocket engine and ignited, what would happen? As most can speculate, the rocket would accelerate so fast that the bumper would either be ripped off, or the rope would be broken.
The problem lies in the fact that all the pressure on the fact that only one part of the car is being accelerated, while the rest of the car wants to remain stationary.
So what can be done to prevent the car from losing its bumper? Well, if you were trying to keep the car attached to the rocket which is pulling it, you would attach 10 or so ropes to the car to spread the load. Because of this, when the rocket is lit, the car accelerates massively. However, items within the vehicle are still tossed around rapidly and the car does suffer some minor damage due to the extreme g-forces.
So how do we prevent this? We got the car to accelerate, but even if a person were to be inside of the car, they would not be able to survive the acceleration.
My solution?
Well, lets imagine, things on the atomic scale. Everything is made up of individual atoms and molecules. IF some way you could attach a tether from each and every atom that is within the vehicle, to the rocket, you would have no problem with acceleration. This is because every atom would be accelerated at an exact rate. Everything would stay in the exact same place that it started at with the exception of moving at an extremely rapid speed.
Of course, the problem lies with the fact that you can't attach a rope to every single atom in a structure. Or can you?
Well, in reality, we are already tethered to the earth. Each and every atomic structure is being accelerated at a constant rate towards the center of the earth. It's called gravity. Imagine if we could artificially create a gravitational force. It would technically pull all atoms within a structure at a constant rate, thus negating the effects of destructive acceleration.
