are we wasting time with this form of "faster than light" travel if gravitational waves don't go faster than the speed of light? Let alone a spaceship.
WHY
Tis whole time travel, wormhole and gravitational wave surfing is a hoax. There's nothing, not even on paper that makes it even remotely possible
nobody is wasting time on it but people whose time is utterly worthless
Valid point
I just want to see someone do a lawn-job on some asshole system's space-time
>tfw you will never go spacetime muddin' through less developed solar systems
it's a cosmic kind of feel
iirc it is supposed to be faster than light, but either way it's reactionless which is a big deal by itself
but yea there's not really anyone actually working on it, just some theoretical physicist playing with ideas, which they would be doing regardless
This.
100% pop-sci pandering to normies for funding and lulz, because they think "Star Trek" is the future and not just some charmingly optimistic 1960s space opera show that was mildly updated in the '80s and '00s.
Let's imagine an analogy, where space is even pressurased gas (Like air. Omg still butthurting about meanings of word GAS. It is evaporised material and it is FUEL also), and spaceship in it. If we will form a sphere around a spaceship, where air is motionless, and will de-pressuarise air infront of it, and pressuarize behind, so this sphere will move towards lower pressure zone. Isn't it?
That was the most unnecessary analogy ever since we all know what gravitational wave "surfing" means.
there's a speed limit. Einstein calculated it to be the speed of light. Thus it's not c nor g waves that are speed limited themselves but the "fabric" of the universe itself that's somehow limiting it.
