>BTW, there's no such thing as "another solar system": there is only one Solar system, and that's our own. It's called that because our star is called "Sol", hence "Solar". Other systems are "star systems".) http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/solar-system http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/solar-system >Basically, you just need to create a large spacecraft which can accelerate continuously at 1g. Then, you point the craft to Alpha Centauri and accelerate at 1g for half the distance, then spin around and decelerate at 1g for the second half. With 1g acceleration, you don't need artificial gravity. And the trip should take less 4 years from what I read here: You would need a colossal amount of energy to maintain that acceleration. I would believe 8 years, but the system is already 4 light years away.

I would believe 8 years, but the system is already 4 light years away. And your belief is wrong. I already gave you a reference. The trip takes less than the distance in light-speed. A trip to the center of the galaxy at even 0.1g acceleration takes far, far less than the lightyear distance, in ship-time.
