You're assuming they didn't have an anti-gravity engine
- krapp 8y agoThey didn't, because anti-gravity is not a technology that can actually exist.
- human20190310 8y agoWhy not?
- krapp 8y agoLike FTL, nothing in physics as we understand it, or that we've observed in the universe, allows for even the possibility of anti-gravity. Theories always require some magical fudge-factor like "negative mass" that, as far as we know, don't really exist either, and can't apply to our universe. As far as is known, the only way to generate gravity is mass, and the only way to counteract gravity is to push against it in the other direction hard enough, but that's just rocketry.
- vardump 8y agoThen they would just use anti-gravity engine near any sufficiently massive body and generate as much energy out of nothing as they wanted...
