Yep. At 1g you could literally go to the edge of the visible universe in less than 50 years (assuming you are targeting the edge as defined at time of departure).

If this is true (I'm too stupid to do the math), then consider my mind blown!

It is technically true, but requires all kinds of miracles, not the least of which is avoiding every trace of matter/antimatter between here and there.

Oh, and all light from the universe is now gamma radiation focused intensely ahead of the spacecraft cooking the whole thing.

An atomic nucleus sitting in deep space becomes an apocalyptic collision at 99.99% light speed.
