Gravitational Waves

I guess I'll keep this one open as a speculation thread as long as it vaguely resembles science. 
Very difficult. It would require impossibly large amounts of energy. Have you read "The Physics of Star Trek"? It outlines quite well what kind of energy you'd need. Plus, suppose you could have that kind of energy it would also mean that you'd suddenly have an enormous mass so don't get too close to anything.

Reminds me of the Kirk line in TMP about risking going to warp speed while still in the solar system.
It's no fun when the moon is suddenly clinging to your hull!

If gravity can be propogated as a wave creating tidal forces across the Universe then there is a body of matter in motion which needs energy to remain in motion.
A body of matter in motion will have energy contained within its body that could be harvested somehow to power systems and create a propulsive value, possibly.
That's rather hypocritical l to say that a thread will be kept open if it vaguely resemebles something scientific calling it tin foil when when the entire spectrum of Trek BBS is science fiction and tin foil. There's an observation that you need to acknowledge as well as remembering that it is relative to any location that you observe from Trek BBS to another location as it the first and most simple assumption that precludes any other facts.
Top hat and cane.

No.
This is the science forum of trekbbs, not the science fiction forum. You need to learn what different forums are for. You wouldn't post tin foil hat theories in the sports forum either because that also isn't a science fiction forum.
You have been posting crazy unscientific theories in many threads for months, often derailing valuable discussions to make them completely about you and your unscientific ideas.
I have told people off for trolling you and attacking you. And as long as your threads are relatively scientific I'm keeping them open and I will continue to warn people if they're just trolling you.
But I'm not going to let you derail and troll other people's threads by turning them into unscientific nonsense and basically let you shit on them.
You're welcome to ask for further clarification in a PM.
That would bear more weight if you didn't post the exact same gibberish, word for word, at places like space.com. Unless you think that site is science fiction too?
I read a recent paper in Arxiv about using these waves to send EM signals FTL.
