9.8 m/s^2 is acceleration. Meaning we're constantly accelerating by 9.8 m/s, or 22 mph every second forever. In just under 1 year, we'd be traveling at the speed of light. And then?
This is where the fun begins.

We are already moving past the speed of light. That's why a short nap becomes hours. It's time dilation, duh.
Why would the light not be accelerating with us, that's my question.
Light cannot accelerate. When a photon is created (emitted from electrons falling down a higher orbital, particle decay, etc.) it is traveling the speed of light. Photons cannot travel slower or faster than the speed of light. Every observer, regardless of their speed, sees light traveling the speed of light.
Graph looks like a water mountain though
Yeah, it's the same shape as those big land tsunamis.
