i don't know much if anything about extreme science but i can appreciate what some of you are working so hard at. i was looking at the picture of the "rotten egg" nebula. it is so beautiful i can't get the questions out of my mind, i mean i did the math and discovered it was like 8 trillion miles long! amazing! i was thinking, "what if its not natural? what if its a glimpse of a warp drive engine in full afterburner. crazy, i know. but it got me to thinking... is there somewhere in the hubble images where we could actually see space "bend" and wouldn't that show us that what you cats are talking about is more than theory? my hats off to all you quantum "nerds". i believe that if man can concieve of something than it probably can be done! keep on rockin'!!!!! i'm not overly religios but i do believe that when it all comes together science and religion will meet at the same conclusion, and it brings the bible to mind where god says, " seekmeandyoushallfindme". why do zeolots persist?

There is ample evidence of warped space in the form of "gravitational lensing". When light passes through space that is warped by a gravitational field, it bends accordingly. The following article has many example photos of this effect:

Astronauts have also used ultra-precise timers to show that because of their intense acceleration and speeds during spaceflight, they experience a small degree of time-dilation, amounting to only a few milliseconds per day, but this difference is enormous considering the precision of the clocks, which are accurate to billionths of a second over millions of years.

If space is compressed to a high density ,such as exists in a mass structure as water glass etc.. a lensing effect occurs. especially Glass. In the Atmoshere space is less compressed,however we can observe bending of light called refraction. The Same sceneario applies to water.

We cannot see Gravity,nevetheless we can feel it. When a car makes a sharp turn it is gravity that pushes the passenger to one side,this push is called inertia. Therefore when we say gravity has inertia ,we are really talking about Gravity Power.
