I'm kinda of a bio major so this physics stuff is kinda foreign to me can you please explain the practical applications of this.

Well we have a new form of detectable waves. On top of that, they can break free of gravity so they can pass by a black hole and get away. If we can reliably detect them, we can use them to start mapping the universe in a new way. If we can figure out how to create them reliably, we can use them possibly like sonar to "see" the actually center of a black hole or send signals to/from areas of high gravity. For the record, you cannot see a black hole, you can only see the event horizon. Black holes are black because they are so dense that their gravity compared to their size is high enough to trap light particles.

Ohh so it maybe possible to make a light speed form of radio?
-
We kind of already have that. Its called fiberoptics, which takes light-waves and sends them down a strand of glass or plastic. Also you can use a flashlight to send messages to someone. More like we could make a radio that could not be stopped by a black-hole's gravity well, which implies it could not be stopped by any gravity well.
-
While not yet feasible to make, this proved space and time can be manipulated by intense gravity making long distance space-travel possible by slowing time.
-
I get the slowing down time part because time and space are interconnected by there still the matter of distance right like time on board a ship is the same even though outside it might be slower

Edited by ZUON: 2/12/2016 4:24:49 PMEdit: I'll try and make a mathematical model out of this. Suppose the gravity you are suspended in gravity strong enough to warp time so every time one hour would occur, two hundred years would pass at earth. As one hour passes in this spacetime distortion at 2,000 meters per hour, you'll actually a distance of travel 3,504,000,000m in one hour. The equation I used was 2,000/1 = X/1,752,000.
-
Oh that explains it Better
-
Where did you get 1.7 million from?
-
I guess we could just cryogenically freeze the passengers so they could survive the travel but that still horribly inefficient. Even if we could slow time even to a significant degree the problem of distance is a tough problem.

I'm editing the post currently because I poorly it explained it the first time around.
