Thanks all. From what I gathered, my force and time of interaction are too horribly skewed for the situation. What I did instead was to calculate the force as dependent on the change in velocity of the proton. Saying it went from rest to a conservative (non-relativistic) 0.1c over the time step...

Silly question here with a long back story, but basically: how fast can you accelerate by running in space? A few very naive assumptions: You have a cross sectional area of about 1/3 m^2, and the density of space is about 5 protons/m^3, so you have a mean free path of about half a meter, or your...
