The only fine point left out may be the human body's ability to withstand the G-Forces. What kind of Gs would you pull in zero gravity? It seems that is what this is talking about from ground up.

Even if your in a zero gravity environment you still feel acceleration.
The next real leap in space travel is going to be fusion powered rockets. They are still theoretical because controlled fusion reactors still take more energy to run than they produce but within 50 years they'll be able to turn that around.
I'd imagine that in any future space vehicle you'd want to accelerate at 9.81 m/s for a very long time. If you could figure out a way to accelerate 9.81 half the distance to mars and then accelerate the other way, slowing you down as you approached, you could fake gravity on the ship.

ah...I wonder...the theory on paper would be, but with the unknown comes the unknown. So will the theory rise up off paper to become a known or constant? Truth is if the magnetism would be able to condense or fold, I agree would be grand, but with the universe electrically charged the answer would most likely be magnetism or some similar form, again I agree. Can the theory be made to rise up off of paper? Don't know if anyone has tried.
