Faster Than Light Theory #759310

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of traveling faster than light using a portable gravity well. The speakers question whether this would be possible and if it would require infinite energy. They also discuss the effects of gravity on mass and how it could potentially be used to propel a ship without causing discomfort to those on board.

Okay, I'm proberly very wrong on many things of the following, also, I know no theory can be good with too many IF's, but here goes.

IF, some how, we made a portable gravity well of some kind.

IF this gravity well was strong enough to make the pull of 1000 G's, over the entire ship.

IF we then used this to pull us forward at 9800 m/s, for 30591.0671 seconds, (9800 m/s^2 * 30591.0671 = 299,792,458 m/s = C) would we then be going the speed of light?

Also, IF gravity pulls with the same force no matter the mass (hammer v's ping pong ball ect) even though we would be infinate mass, we should still only need the energy required to move us that same first few seconds to continue to accel at the same rate.

And, IF the gravity is pulling the entire ship and all the people in it at the same rate, we should not be smooshed into the back of our seats, yes?

What IF we then accel for 30592 seconds, would we then not be going faster than light?

Wouldn't it be so much easier if you just start with "IF we can throw out all the laws of physics that we know of today...", then you wouldn't need to make so many IF's.

What is it with all these FTL threads?


I can see no value in them.
