Can someone calculate at which point a 100 ton spacecraft accelerating at a constant 1gee (local) would have a total kinetic energy exceeding the mass energy of the entire (observable… as in, within our light cone) universe?


I'm not sure but I think that with constant acceletation, your kinetc energy raises with time squared. And the whole c speed limit just affects how kinetic energy relates to speed.
