In Star Trek they had "inertial dampeners".
- waste_monk 4y agoFrom Memory Alpha: 'According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia (2nd ed., p. 205), inertial dampers were "invented" by Star Trek writers to explain how the crew avoided becoming "chunky salsa" when starships accelerated or decelerated. ' [1] and further list them as a requirement to achieve warp. I would imagine that "merely" instantly decelerating from 0.25c to a dead stop would be trivial in comparison.
