The only fine point left out may be the human body's ability to withstand the G-Forces. Without quantum leaps in the field of technology, the human body will be unable to fly at the acceleration point, or am I wrong?

I can't volunteer for this one!!!

Yep, you're wrong on that.

The theory is that you don't actually go that fast (can't exceed speed of light and all that).

What actually happens if distorting of space-time, its very deep. Goes down to the basic question of what is 'gravity' and how is it related to time and space... then harnessing it for use in travel.

I would suppose that if you're mucking about with the very definition and effects of gravity in order to move the thing... the G-forces ~inside~ such a craft could be whatever you'd like them to be?

Would the maximum speed be relatively small so that acceleation would not be great?

What kind of Gs would you pull in zero gravity? It seems that is what this is talking about from ground up.
