Gravity waves, a folding of time/space, was first theorized by Albert Einstein about 100 years ago in his general theory of relativity in 1916. It was not confirmed until 1974 when the folding of space/time was observed in two pulsars rotating around each other about 1.8 billion light years from Earth. The illustration above shows the current status of observations. The pulsars in this example orbit each other and will eventually collide.

Rutherford Nance, Ph.d, conducted additional observations at the Allen Very Large Array in AD 2043. His calculations showed that these interactions did not always perfectly reflect theory. In particular, gravitonic waves were not consistent when passing through areas of intense quasar/pulsar interaction. 

In 2056 Ishihara Kaga, Ph.d, at the Continuing Global Energy Initiative, postulated that gravitational waves are not in fact only energy waves but also contain a bleed over from, or reflection of, the dark matter collocated with our material universe. This postulate cost Dr. Kaga his position with not onlyCGEI but CalTech as a visiting professor. In 2059 he successfully demonstrated his postulate by tapping into the intense energy generated amongst the dark matter. Unfortunately, he died when the released energy exceeded his expectations, creating a micro singularity and leaving a mile-deep crater where Tonopah, Nevada used to be.

After the shock of the destruction wore off, it was suggested that this energy could provide a permanent non-polluting energy source. The public’s violent rejection of the idea based upon the existence of the Hole, as it was called, limited application to off-planet uses only. A number of scientists claimed credit for the theory that, if the energy could be harnessed, a supra-light drive could be created that would avoid three problems. First, the dark or negative energy’s signature would lengthen time instead of dilating it, therefore a ship located in the material universe would see a balancing out of the effects. Second, relativistic speed limits are the opposite in the dark matter universe as compared to this universe – as a result there is no limit to speed. Third, based upon the foregoing, there would be no inertia impacting the ship and no acceleration experienced within the bubble of the ship, with the added benefit that gravity could be provided as needed.

Or, if these posits were wrong, the opposing forces would rip any ship attempting it to pieces.

In 2071 Franklin Industries unveiled their gravitonics propulsion system. They flew a remote control ship flew to Jupiter in forty minutes and returned it four days later in a thirty minute flight. Monitors on board recorded a one gee standard gravity during the entire voyage.

Their design opened a tap at the prow allowing the dark energy to pull it forward. At the stern the extraordinarily strong gravity wave was returned to the dark matter universe thereby balancing the forces.

However, this was not perpetual motion. Channeling and controlling the dark energy required a massive amount of power in this universe aboard the ship. Small ships moved faster in the stream but a large ship could carry much more reaction mass for the fusion plants needed. As a result, most of the initial ships were massive colony ships the size of small asteroids.

The large ships also had sufficient energy output to generate surface shields needed to handle space debris ranging from atoms to meteors, essential when traveling at what are Einsteinian impossible speeds.
