Unobtanium, that’s the ticket.
Words, words and more words. Semantics as a forefront of science.
Though I thought that this was a obscure article i should have known that the Red Badger already had this article covered...

Yes; Just as soon as the relationship between gravitons and electrons is established.
Rocky and Bullwinkle addressed this issue decades ago when Bullwinkle inherited a mine containing deposits of an anti-gravity element known as “Upsidaisium.”
The possibility of antigravity depends on our understanding of what gravity actually is, doesn’t it? And we just don’t know what it is.
Consider the account of Jesus walking on water. For those who believe in the historical and spiritual significance of Jesus/Yeshua, this event could be seen as a miraculous suspension of physical laws, including gravity. While some may dismiss it as myth, it’s worth noting that this figure—mythological or historical—has profoundly influenced the world in ways no other individual has. Could this suggest there’s more to the story than mere legend?
Even modern physicists admit that our understanding of reality is incomplete. Gravity, consciousness, and the very fabric of existence remain elusive. These gaps in knowledge leave open the possibility of phenomena that challenge our current scientific frameworks.
As an aside, I have a devout friend who assisted in exorcisms and claims to have witnessed possessed individuals levitate. He is deeply sincere, and while I trust his honesty, it’s possible that he may have been subjected to some form of spiritual manipulation, brainwashing, or gaslighting during those experiences. Such factors could distort perception or create powerful psychological effects. While he genuinely believes he saw what he described, whether it occurred as he perceived it remains uncertain.
If a person can be subjected to spiritual brainwashing or manipulation, who’s to say that what we define as reality itself might not be a form of spiritual manipulation? Perhaps reality, as we experience it, is a construct—something shaped or influenced by forces beyond our understanding. This idea challenges the very foundation of how we perceive the world and invites deeper reflection on the nature of existence, consciousness, and reality (including gravity) itself.
I believe that gravity and time are intimately related.
Time-dilation occurs when traveliing near the speed of light beause of the propulsion force required to achieve the near light-speed velocity. The Gs observed in the acceleration are the same Gs exerted by gravity.
In my simple-minded opinion, if time-travel is possible then anti-gravity is possible, and vice-versa.
How can we ‘invent’ antigravity when we can’t even define gravity?.......

Faster than light speed travel? Perhaps. More probable is the instantaneous traversing of dimensions.
