To the extent we're on the cusp of any real scientific breakthrough, it's figuring out how to interact with gravity waves using electromagnetic energy. If we can "ride" gravity waves, sort of like how a maglev train rides a magnet, we could zoom from one side of the earth to the other almost instantaneously

Can a spaceship ride gravity waves?

Gravity waves warp space. Our detectors move very slightly closer together when a gravity wave passes through our planet. If we had a constant and powerful source of gravity waves could a spaceship ride them to travel faster than light in the same way as a warp drive?

I don't know how you could have constant gravity waves. Maybe with a stupid amount of energy and stupid powerful lasers it would be possible to slow two colliding neutron stars just enough that they don't collide but still create extremely powerful gravity waves. I don't know, but would a spaceship even be able to ride on the waves? Or would it be possible to create one massive gravity wave that brings two distant points very close together without breaking physics?

It is worth considering that the wave detected back in September had a measurable fluctuation of 1/1000th the width of a proton and it was caused by two massive black holes running into each other.

It lets us chuck out a section of theoretical physics that presumed gravity waves didn't exist, but it isn't an especially practical discovery.

JFC reddit is super weird when it talks about this stuff:

Let's step back a minute- why is it called the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) in the first place? Because it is a signal we see in literally all directions in the cosmos, at microwave frequencies. It happens to be there because it's from the early universe, but the fact that it's called a background isn't because of that fact. And for GWs, while there likely are signals in the GW background from the early universe, right now we believe the signal detected was more from supermassive black holes merging (which are a lot closer and more common).

That's a long way of saying "background noise can be old or new," but he opens by admitting that we can't presume CMB is old, without explaining why anyone should still think it's old. He still thinks it's from the "early universe," but why?

I think it's possible and even inevitable. it's like mastering fusion and electricity. Manipulating spacetime itself is probably the key to interstellar travel and dominating the universe. It's very advanced stuff so I doubt we'd see that any time soon but it would be very much needed to stabilize low or zero gravity situations so that humans can actually live worry free about the effects of long term exposure.
