   I read one book where they were able to modify inertia. With engine force   
   being the same, the craft would accelerate faster, but everyone aboard had to   
   get pacemakers, because their blood and heart would go wonkers.   
      
   The prisoner of time gadget sounds like its a kind of inverted stasis field,   
   but where the effect is permanently applied to atoms in range, and does not   
   prevent mixing with normal atoms. It would allow for the example show, but i   
   have not read the book    
   to see if it holds up.
