Stasis chambers

+0
−0

I'm attempting to write a story, in which the main character needs to be in stasis for a couple hundred years. Upon researching the idea of cyro-stasis I have found that there is really no way to plausibly make it work, so I set it aside. Recently, I learned that the closer one reaches to the speed of light, the slower one perceives time.

What if you took someone, put them in a box, and spun them REALLY fast? I'm talking .9C. It would have to be in a vacuum, and hovering with magnets to eliminate friction. We certainly couldn't do it now, but I think it's plausible.

The only problem I can see with it is centrifugal force. That many G's would kill a person pretty quickly.

Q: Is there any way to reduce the impact of centrifugal force realistically?
