If you can manipulate gravity, is it possible to travel great distance in very short amount of time?

Question

If there is a machine that can creat gravity, would it be possible to travel thousands of miles instantly?

Answer 1

Well, first of all what we call gravity is caused by the presence of mass, like a star, planet, or even you and I. Einstein also showed us that e=mc² which also means that given enough energy you can produce mass. Theoretically then it would be possible to produce enough mass to cause what's known as a worm hole to form. Such a thing would be like a short cut between different locations in the universe. For instance the distance between two stars that are 100 light years apart might be shortened to 3 or 4 light years.

So the answer to your question is "yes."

Answer 2

Not instantly, but very quickly.  Unfortunately, no such machine exists, and such a machine would violate the conservation of energy.

Answer 3

Some people think that UFOs are time machines because of their unbelievable speed. Even the time-travel critic, Steven Hawkings, admits that they cannot prove that travel into the past is impossible.

Remeber that space-time can be bent and folded. The question is whether a UFO can create a field that will allow it to bend space time onto itself.

Answer 4

No, Theres either no gravity and ya float or you use items like astronauts use and bounce or theres too much and you dont move

Answer 5

well , first u shud be clear b/w gravity n gravitation.

every thing attracts other thing  due 2 gravitational pull. n gravity is the acceleration due to any planet's gravitational field, pull.

now coming to your ques.> wll it depend....upon the gravitational field that u have created due to that machine...say 9.8 m/sec2.  

so it depends upon the intensity of the field.

1 more thing , gravitation is a quite wierd topicto understand completely,,,,so in order to understand it nicely....compare concepts of gravitation with concepts of electrisatic charge..

god bless.

peace

Answer 6

Yes, only "IF"

Answer 7

The power of Gravity  depends upon the mass of an object. And anything that has huge mass cannot travel faster. Only when u nullify gravity or dify gravity u can travel faster in space. The catapult effect of the object when the gravity is nullified wll throw the object with great and unimaginable speed. Tis what I have expressed my view is only hypothetical situation. Kindly check with a Particle physicst

Answer 8

In theory, yes, you could travel at very high speeds in a device powered by gravity.  In practice, building such a machine would be near impossible, though, as it violates the laws of physics.
