It takes a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time! You're at "1g" when you're just sittin' around - 1g being 1x of the force of gravity. So at 1g, you're not really accelerating at all.
Lets do the math and start with 1 g equal to 32 feet per second. Light speed equals 186,000 miles per second. It will take approximately 78 years to reach light speed.
But there seems to be an error in these calculations! 32 feet per second is NOT an acceleration, but a constant velocity, so after 78 years you would still be at 32 ft per second!!! The term 1-G refers to the constant acceleration of EARTH gravity, that is 32 ft per second (squared) at sea level!!!!!! Now at that acceleration it would take about 51.7 weeks to reach light speed, that is if I used the acceleration calculator correctly. Good question though!

∙ 14y agoThe time taken would be infinite. As any body with mass approaches the speed of light, it takes more and more force to accelerate it to c. You can never reach the exact speed of light.

∙ 13y agoA 'g' is a measure of the acceleration that you feel as a force is applied to you. Although you can never travel at the speed of light, were you travelling very close to it at a constant speed, you would feel 0g, as you are neither accelerating nor decelerating.

If you were alive and went to heaven would you feel gravity like the astronauts if you went at or faster than the speed of light?
First of all, you would have to be dead to go to heaven or hell. So basically, the answers is no.
If you had a two people either end of a rod 1 light year long and pulled one end would it take a year for the person at the other end to feel it?
No. It would take significantly longer. A pressure wave would not move through the rod at the speed of light. According to the internet, the speed of sound in steel is 4512m/s. I'm not sure if a pressure wave would move through the rod at the the same speed as sound, but assuming that they're on a similar order of magnitude, it would take something like 60,000 years for the guy on the other end of the rod to feel it.
How can you accelerate to the speed of light?
A person cannot travel the speed of light because a propellant to move a space ship in the vacuum of space would have to travel faster than light speed. Since everything is relative, nothing travels faster than light speed (speed C). If light, for example, was to power a space ship by pushing on giant panels it would still not be able to push the space ship fast enough to travel at light speed. If the energy was in light, enough to push a spaceship to almost light speed, it would still not have enough energy to push the space ship to light speed. It would still be slower. Think of light speed like this: If you wer an ant walking as fast as you could and we make this the speed of a jet liner, light speed would still be the speed of the Earth going around the sun. The speed of light is vastly faster than any machine ever made.
Why acceleration produces at constant speed?
Acceleration by definition is a change in speed, direction, or both. If the speed is constant, the direction could still be changing. You can feel a change in direction, therefore you can feel acceleration even if the speed is constant.
Why do you not feel the speed of the Earth revolving around the Sun?
gravity
At what percentage of the speed of light must one travel in order to feel like going faster than the speed of light?
At a speed 212 000 kilometers per second you have a relativistic gamma of 1.41, and you will time 365 days of travel when travelling one light-year. You would think that effectively you were going at light-speed! An observer would see you going slower though, and would time your trip to over 516 days.
What is the equivalence principle?
If you were in a spaceship going at a speed of 9.8m/s^2, you would feel exactly same as if you were on the earth.
Why cant you feel the earth going around?
because you are travelling at the same speed, there is no acceleration
Which can be quickly feel by human. light or sound. why?
Like speed?If yes,then your answer is more interesting for you.Light can be felt by your body quicker,as the speed of light is much more than that of sound.Easy,isn't it?
Should you do a deep kiss or a light one for your first kiss?
go in for a light one, but if you feel like its going well keep going into a deeper one
Why you do not feel the earth rotation?
We don't feel the Earth rotating, because we're rotating with it. If it stopped or sped up, we would certainly feel it. It's like riding in a car; when the car is going straight on a smooth road at the same speed, we don't feel it; only when we turn or slow down or speed up.

What do the pilgrimages feel like when they are on a pilgrimage?
HOLY i would feel happy that i am going on this particular journey for my beliefe
When was I Feel Speed created?
I Feel Speed was created on 2007-11-23.
Why would Bacon feel sticky?
It is going bad....don't eat it.
Can you feel time elapsing if you travel at the speed of light?
Of course. You feel completely normal no matter what speed you happen tobe traveling. If you pass other people and they measure you as you pass by,they're the ones who notice weird things. If you pass them at the speed of lightwhile they measure you, they find that your mass is infinite, your front-to-backthickness is zero, and your heart and your wristwatch have stopped.What's even morre weird than that ... if you measure the other people whileyou pass them, you find exactly the same things about them, althougheverybody feels completely normal.And, by the way, if they shine a flashlight at you as you pass, and you shine aflashlight at them, their light passes you at the speed of light, and your lightpasses them at the speed of light.
