I’ve had this theory since I was ~13 (when I started getting into physics + space)
Theoretically, if you could accelerate all of an object’s atoms at once, would it just not experience a g-force?
Like If you shot very specific microwave/uv rays at an object to simultaneously speed up its atoms in a specific direction, the object itself wouldn’t heat up as there would be no friction, just velocity in a single direction.
From what i understand, g-forces are due to 1/2 things.
1: tidal forces. IE, inequal acceleration (or gravity).
Or 2: friction/collision forces of the individual atoms.
No need for complicated higgs field stuff, or quantom mechanics. Just “simple” waves providing motion.
With this in mind, as long as you have the energy, you could instantly accelerate an object to right under the speed of light. The object wouldn’t be torn apart as long as you’re in space.
If you accelerate the air/water around you in the same way, you would also be able to freely travel through any fluid.
Maybe I’m way off base, but it’s been stuck in my head, especially in the recent months. I would love to hear a physicists take on this.
