How long can humans survive in increased gravity?
One premise of my current planet-in-progress is that certain locations in the universe are inherently tied to my PIP. For example, all the people and things that have vanished in the Bermuda Triangle were transported to my PIP (how/why is irrelevant to this question).
However, acceleration due to gravity on the surface of my PIP is significantly higher than g on Earth. NASA is currently conducting a study on how microgravity impacts humans, but my question is the reverse.
How long can humans from Earth survive being unexpectedly (but safely) transported to a different, Earth-like planet with higher gravity?
An equation to calculate the survival duration vs. g increase is most welcome.
