Default A Potential Means to Obtain Light Speed and Beyond

A Theoretical Means of Faster than Light Space Travel


What can go faster than the speed of light? The only known entity is
gravity, which is at least 20 times faster than the speed of light and
possibly much faster. If gravity could be harnessed then one could in
theory exceed light speed. We know that all matter radiates gravity. If
artificial gravity could be created in tremendous quantity and
intensity, focused in a particular direction and controlled in its
amount of pull; then it could be used as a power source for
interstellar space travel The gravity could be aimed at the sun or moon
to lift a spaceship off of the earth and accelerate it. Once beyond the
major gravitational pull of the earth, it could be pointed at another
planet or star and increased in power to further accelerate speed
hopefully beyond the speed of light. This could make interstellar
travel feasible. Once you near the desired destination, the
gravitational generator could be focused in the reverse direction to
slow the spaceship down to make a soft landing possible. This only a
theoretical possibility; first one must figure out how generate
artificial gravity and then harness it as a propulsion method. This
will require the creation of super gravity and the means of controlling
it for the desired purpose.
