No way.to catch such a wave you have to create it by vanishing of mass or adding a mass from no where (as God). but if you able to do so ,no need of tank of gas. just seat in your whatever something and sail away to... ( by the way why Mars? )

Might we be able to have a ship or something drift in those waves, because if we can then me might be able to go to mars on a tank of gas. (You know what i mean.)

All those info... QWESTION IS:IT CAN BE ALL THOSE UNDER OUR CONTROLL OR MANAGE?

Gravitrons curve space-time and if stars curve it more its only because they are made of many gravitrons (many many)

That's an interesting question.I think there's a particle, called a graviton. It would collide with other particles, attracting them towards the source. (They're often mentioned in Sci-Fi such as the Star Trek series, and I talk about it in a story of my own.)But in 2D computer models, you still see the space-time fabric distorted by the mass of stars and stuff.So I guess both theories are to be confirmed.

Nice. One question though, is gravity and gravitational waves simply the way space is distorted by mass, or is the gravitational force propagated through a medium, or "gravitational field" much like electromagnetic waves propagate through an electromagnetic field.Or could the gravitational medium simply be space-time itself?

lol, i know the site where you got all this info, i read it 15 min. ago

if this theory is true the all the planets should be in the same plane or same rubber plate. how could you explain the effect of gravity of sun on Earth and mars if earth and mars are on different plane

I guess it will rip universe apart:)
