Re: OT: Handwavium-low methods of FTL travel?
Gravity waves are expected to travel at the speed of light. We have not yet successfully detected them, but the detectors we have build are not sensitive enough to detect the largest gravity waves we think exist.
While this includes a lot of handwavium, it is still a possibility that they could travel at faster than light and we could end up using them to power a ship.
We could just use Brin's Epacharch and "believe" reality away. "Beleive we could go faster than light and it will happen. Those people that claim to come from out there, I mean how do we know... They might be right.
