Yes it's a huge leap, but the leap might not be as big as it seems: if we can figure out artificial gravity, then maybe we can scale up the technology and move stars, leading to more fruitful space travel than metal ships alone can achieve.
OTOH, that method of travel would still be rather slow and aliens might have abandoned the idea because it's too boring.
- bena 8y agoYes, just figure out how to reverse one of the fundamental forces of the universe that may not actually be a force. Then perform that on a scale capable of shifting the path of something that contains practically all of the mass of the solar system. Far from "too boring", it seems "too implausible". Your "step 1" would be a huge leap in and of itself.
