The project, called the Solar Gravity Lens, or SGL will use Albert Einstein’s idea that said, over a century ago, that gravity can bend and magnify light—a concept known as gravitational lensing. The gravitational field of the sun will create an immense lens. It will require precise navigation, communications over long distances, and the need for a sunshade to keep our own Sun’s light from entering the telescope. A coronagraph would also be required to block the light from the exoplanet parent’s star. Getting to the focal point will be challenging but the results will be spectacular. We will see these exoplanets in great detail. Once we determine which exoplanets have promising features, how will be get there? Think the Star Trek warp drive. Scientist have discovered how we can make a warp drive possible so men can travel to distant planets in minutes. Those strange UFOs we are observing may have discovered the way to make warp drive work already.

There is a teeny weensy tiny problem with warp drive in
current theory. It takes ALL the energy in the universe to accomplish.
