MODERATORS
More like a trailer, good luck to those pilots in turbulence have you ever tried driving a car with a trailer that catches a strong wind?
I think the real shipping breakthrough most people are looking for is low power neutral buoyancy without having to travel at hundreds of miles per hour.
Speaking of air cargo. Why exatcly there are no moder zeppelins? They seem like a perfect way to transport cargo
They're perfect except for the part where they basically don't work. They're not much faster than a seagoing vessel, carry a lot less, are way more expensive, and are basically guaranteed to crash. Intermodal water + rail freight is more practical.
Anti gravity drive wen?
probably never.
Directly measuring gravity waves first happened pretty recently in 2016 using LIGO, there's a possibility through future observations at different frequencies someone might identify a means of manipulation. When humans first discovered electricity & electromagnetic fields it took awhile before batteries and generators, etc. It's not guaranteed but isn't impossible either.
