Spaceships should surf on gravitational waves

We must create giant space-surfboards to surf on gravitational waves. This
will allow spaceships to travel through time and matter very fast and is
much better than rockets based on fossil fuels.

Because space is just a giant black ocean and you can sail it with solar
sails or surf on its gravitational waves.

Easy.

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.....

you do know that even a super nova only emits a gravity wave that moves
atoms like 1/10000 of their nuclesus orbit distance. If you were really
lucky you could luanch some sub-sub-sub-sub atmoic particle into space
'surfing' gravity waves.

That's three newsgroups this morning where I've kill filed this idiot.
Want to bet he's going to be a nuisance?

Thank you! The answer was so obvious. How could we all have missed it? I
guess there's no need to keep working on my warp drive...

The upshot of relativistic homocentricity as an expansion of Newtonian
quasi-geocentricity is that one opinion is no better or worse than the
next.

The Equation of Time and especially Newton's attempt at it * exists at
the bottom of all this mess and especially the chronic symptom of
imagining a frame of reference based on the Earth's rotation to the Sun
and stars arising from the sidereal value.

"Absolute time, in astronomy, is distinguished from relative, by the
equation or correlation of the vulgar time. For the natural days are
truly unequal, though they are commonly considered as equal and used
for a measure of time; astronomers correct this inequality for their
more accurate deducing of the celestial motions."

The pre-Copernican equable 24 hour day arising from the noon Equation
of Time correction was adapted to indepedent axial rotation by the
heliocentrists at 15 degrees per hour .As these heliocentric guys
refered all motions off the Earth's orbital motion rather than the dumb
Newtonian framehopping view of placing an observer on the Sun,you
inherit cartoon garbage while I admire the reasoning of Copernicus.

Anyone can appreciate that a faster Earth moving in an inner orbital
circuit explains apparent retrogrades and this is how Kepler,Galileo
,Rheticus and others enjoyed the insight.

Here is how contemporary freaks like yourself treat tCopernicus and his
insight -

No wonder the only people you can find things to discuss with are in
talk.origins !.
