The first thing that comes to mind is faster then light travel, and possibly even faster than gravity travel

Hi Mark
not exactly what you had in mind, but following this site for the past few months there is an expriement that come to mind.
1. according to "clasical gravity", a given mass (mass "A") will exert gravitional pull on mass "B" proportionaly to the distant between the center of mass A and mass B.
therefore if we take a long cilinder object and place it horizantly over another object (the center of the cilinder object "close" to secondery object) we should get bigger gravitional pull then if we placed it verticaly over the object (the center of the cilinder object "far" from secondery object)
2. according to "push gravity", gravitional force is pushing and get blocked by a mass.
therfore placing the cilnder object horizantly over a secondery object will block less graviton coming from above then placing it verticaly, in which case the results should be the exact oposit of exp. 1
A. is that correct?
B. was it tried?

The best approach to realizing Phoenix VII's dream of "faster then light travel, and possibly even faster than gravity travel" would be some sort of light(EMR)/gravity wave surfboard that takes energy from those waves by riding on/repelling them . . .

Hi Peter
Your approach is the same as as trying to move through the atmosphere using sounds wave (which i dont think will be very practical).
in my opinion the only way its to find that elusive medium (esylum) and then find a way of manipulating it, very much like a jet in the air or a boat in water.

So the shape of the body doesn't matter. Gravity's push is equal on every atom individually, so it doesn't matter how many atoms there are or how they are arranged. -|Tom|-

Hi TVF
thanks for your reply
I wasnt refering to the shape of the object in general, my idea is changing the size/mass of the object in a GIVEN DIRECTION, which certainley should make a different, otherwise (to be completley simpleton) replacing the moon with a tenis ball should have no effect on earth gravity ?!!
