Generating gravity also warps space time. My naive thought was that warping space-time in one way was just as good as another as far as the drive mechanism was concerned. If it could be done due to the gravity of a neutron star, I would like to know why a simulated neutron star wouldn't also work! Why couldn't the solenoid make the required gravity inside the coils and keep those outside relatively unharmed? Hm... | |

Also the Alcubierre-drive uses negative energy, which makes it more implausible. There’s theory about using a ship with the mass of a neutron star to bend space for warp travel. But that would kill everyone. My counter gravity idea is a sort of remedy for that, and it would require artificial gravity. | |
