Gravitationally isolated space-time
Hi-- Unfortunately, the section you added to Interstellar travel is almost certain to be removed if not quickly supported by reliable sources. I have just tagged it, along with SlipString Drive, which suffers from similar problems and is likewise in danger of deletion. See some of the links in the "Welcome" template above for further details. The real problem is that for fundamental reasons having to do with causality (see especially the Minkowski diagram) and special relativity, all Faster-than-light schemes (regardless of how done) are widely regarded as probably impossible in the physics community. This does not mean FTL is truly impossible (see wormholes, for example) of course, but we are generally highly skeptical, so be prepared to defend against attacks. Sorry to be a curmudgeon, but it's better to be warned, I guess. Good luck; hope you do find a place for yourself editing in Wikipedia! Wwheaton (talk) 18:11, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi again, I just wanted to let you know that I have deleted the subsection from the article on interstellar travel, and am suggesting the SlipString Drive article needs to be deleted also. I hope I am not being too harsh, but I think it needs some substantial sources to permit it to remain indefinitely. Best, Wwheaton (talk) 02:15, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
