No negative mass, translations can occur purely by mechanical deformations in a curved spacetime.
- smaddox 8y agoAhh. Looks like the affect is proportional to the spacetime curvature. So not particularly effective for interstellar travel. Also, you wouldn't be able to measure a thrust, because there would be none; there would only be translation. Very interesting, though.
