- TechBro8615 3y agoThat WaPo article was also discussed [0] on HN yesterday (although most of the comments were about the garbage quality of the reporting). [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36514521 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36514521
- ComputerGuru 3y agoThanks for the link. I had issues with the WaPo article, but that tongue-in-cheek joke with dead-pan delivery wasn't one of them. Fortunately another commenter called it out as a joke as well.
- sslayer 3y agoImagine if we could take advantage of the time-space potential/differences between gravitational areas to "skip" large parts of space. We would have to have a very precise gravity map, but could also get huge gravity potential boost!
- nomel 3y agoCould we? Is there math that supports this? Wouldn't this require taking some, and then not losing it when the wave passes? I don't see much happening with the earth, as it's experiencing them, so I assume the "extraction" process would be significant and unique.
