However none of this will provide warp drive or a free lunch.  The output of a blazer (kind of quasar) over 3.5 billion years ago, is not something you want in your galaxy, let alone your neighborhood!

There are many celestial events I don't want to happen nearby.

That gravitational wave pulse, in the other string, its initial power was greater than the whole output of a galaxy, for a short while.  Definitely not something you want to be near.  Billions of light years, gives us a little margin of safety.

Billions of light years are OK.  Those events happen all the time at that distance.  Even millions are OK.  Thousands gets iffy.

Pfft.  I've been on a plane with no moving parts.  It sat on the runway in Detroit for 6 hours without moving.
The Christian church, in its attitude toward science, shows the mind of a more or less enlightened man of the Thirteenth Century. It no longer believes that the earth is flat, but it is still convinced that prayer can cure after medicine fails.

Well, I think the whole idea is for the thing to actually fly, since sitting on the ground does get much done.

But I hope you at least had a good book to keep you occupied while you waited! LOL

It's relative.  Given the spin of the Earth, the movement of the Earth around the Sun, the motion of the Sun thru the Milky Way ... and the universal motion from the Big Bang ... you are going places, even when standing still.  Just not getting to the relative destination you desire.

My house doesn't move either.  I still like it.
