Too much acceleration force can hurt, and even kill, us.

Most humans can handle acceleration forces of about 4 to 6 g for a short period of time.

Einstein's theory of special relativity shows that as an object with mass gets closer to the speed of light, the mass starts to increase as it nears light.

It's possible that if we were moving away from a galaxy very quickly, we would be moving at near light speed.
