Could you survive very high G's if your whole body was accelerated uniformly?
Could you survive high g's if your whole body was accelerated uniformly (not just by the seat of a rocket pushing on your back)? Your body is really only affected by gravity if you are touching ...

Is it possible, using known acceleration laws, to drastically lower force required to leave Earth's Gravitational pull?
Just a silly theory to illustrate my question. If we were to build a globe (or a detached runway, could be any structure really as long as it goes around earth and meets on both ends) around the earth,...
