Why the fuck isn't the government giving me a grant? A few days ago it just occurred to me how we could advance long distance space travel. Thinking in three dimensions instead of two.

Gravity machines. Think about it. A blackhole is nothing but a hole in the universe resulting from such a massive "bent" in space, that it looks like a gigantic hole in the three dimensions. In that "hole" is a cluster fuck of mass. You wouldn't see it, but your mass would clash with all the other mashed up mass that split apart from the intense gravity. Nothing could "live" in that mess. It's just a junkyard of unlucky mass. Therefore... the trick would be to propel one's self using gravity, without exceeding the limit to cause a blackhole effect. We are uncertain of how dense of a surge or how heavy a mass must be before it begins to cause that cosmic sinkhole. And frankly, it would be dangerous, (but exhilarating) to findout! Earth orbits around the sun, that's a safe bet. Earth is nowhere close to being dense enough in mass or gravity manipulation. Therefore, if we could somehow manipulate energy to resemble mass, rather then sheer force, we could "orbit away" rather then boom boom, shoot forward. Think of it as pushing yourself from a wall rather then using your legs to run. When dealing with physics, this actually makes more sense then the initial energy investment in running!
