If Gravity is needed to produce Warp Drive, then consider this:
The gravitational attraction between any 2 objects is determined by the mass of
the objects and the distance between them, right? Now for the Rubber Band part.
If one half of the equation is suddenly obliterated by the mass turning into
energy (yall, you all, all of you, whatever, still remember Einstein?), what
happens to the gravitational force pulling on the pulverized item? If 2 people
are pulling on a rubber band and one lets go, what happens to all the force
being used to to stretch the rubber band? All you SETI folks should figure out
what star system(s) were just opposite (and/or just above)the first nuclear
blasts (draw an imaginary line from a blast, through the center of the earth a
few multitudes of light years in both direction) on this planet, and figure
there just might be some intellgent life there after all. Of Course, until we
learn how to detect and utilize whatever it really was that folded the fabric
of space for that instant, we will still be groveling in the dark.
A FINAL NEW FRONTIER or OLD HAT?
Could faster than light travel via wormhole traversal or space warping
have been discovered by the people living before the flood of Noah? Living
hundreds of years, people must have spent a lot, A WHOLE LOT, of time thinking,
calculating, experimenting, planning, and building.
