[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 167120, member: 175144"] we know that :D If that was the case then the first idea of Felbers work, that of [I]identifying an energy source capable of producing the acceleration[/I] wouldnt work. Gravity is there in all masses that surround the item that requires shifting. The idea that moving it in a vector towards one particular mass based on its vectorial trajectory speed suggests the gravity pull of all the other objects behind and around it, are 'delayed', for 'forward' momentum, along the lines of a time delay issue. Gravitational force is no longer linked to just to distance and mass, but to distance, mass and time in any equation, where movement across distance is required. There is nothing in Jules Vernes work to confirm that Cavorite was impaired simply by a 'gravity shield'. For the convenience of the novel (and the movie), Cavorites additional property of allowing pilots to travel in time was left off to keep the reader/viewer entertained (Mr Vern did not go into much detail on the shutter design either). Felper has identified, in his work, what is required two stages down in space travel, the first issue is getting on board the next stage of interstellar travel, just the small issue of getting the kit up to speed to produce the extra thrust is missing (as well as the method of slowing down at the other end, but thats for later). Even if I was able to prove that there was a gravity lift available at 1% of the speed of light, mankind would still have a few years to develop something to get on board the escalator. Has somebody got impulse speed sorted on paper yet ?;) [/QUOTE]
