Easy, just create and destroy MASS...................
If we could create mass on a big enough scale, then maybe we leave Mars and Venus alone and just create a string of new Earths.
If we can create mass, then I assume we've advanced to where we can create any element. Streets paved of gold. Commodity metal prizes near worthless.
Of course if the goal is to modify gravity, destroying Mass sort of defeats the purpose. If you destroy the mass of Venus, then you've successfully disrupted gravity between Venus and the Sun, but there is nothing left to collide with Mars.
Either solution works. disrupt gravity or create new mass. But you have to tap into an external energy source if you go the create Mass route. Creating Mass would require a lot of energy. And if you consume all of Earth trying to create a mass the size of earth, then again, you've defeated the purpose.
Perhaps a 3rd solution.
A carefully placed large wormhole positioned in the orbital path of an inhabitable planet from a neighboring star would allow us to effectively steal a planet into our solar system.
It also allows us an escape route if something goes wrong with our Sun by operating that in reverse.
I like the gravity adjusting idea because it allows you to make fine tuned adjustments. But perhaps you could do the same with fine tuned planet sized wormholes.
What got me thinking alone the lines of disrupting gravity was watching this video on Quantum Mechanics where they explained the various particles can be thought of as vibrations in particular fields. Those vibrations can transform into vibrations in the other fields, effectively transforming particles of one time into another.
If everything is vibrations in a field, then maybe there is a way to dampen a field. And if you can dampen a field then maybe you can dampen gravitation. And if you can dampen a field can you also amplify it and do so in a way that uses energy from other sources than your own.
Like a rock star uses an amplifier instead of just singyelling louder and louder.
Yes singyelling is now a word, because I just used it.
Of course under the gravity is due to spacetime curvature which is due to Mass model, Maybe field dampening isn’t a viable option.
In that case, we need to learn how to make spacetime curve without using huge amounts of mass. Learning to manipulate space time curvature like that might allow you to create gravity dampening or amplifying folds in spacetime. And that skill could come in useful in a number of ways, including creating planet sized worm holes in order to steal planets from other solar systems.
Of course you could use a wormhole to crash Venus into Mars, without disrupting gravity.
