Monster gravitational waves spotted for first time
EDIT as a commenter below has kindly pointed out, our current models indicate that the answer to this question is "no", per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMFLcmsjOBg------This is all firmly outside my technical discipline, but aren't there some theories that faster-than-light travel might be achieved by bending spacetime around a spacecraft, as opposed to trying to propel the spacecraft through space?I really want to emphasize that this is entirely speculation, but is it possible that these gravitational waves could be the "ripples" produced in the wake of such faster-than-light travel, the same way a boat travelling through a body of water leaves ripples in the water behind it?
