So, a mass of 1 x 10^10 kg in front of your ship will create a gravitational pull on your ship of
G * mass<sub>ship</sub> * 10^10 kg / (distance ^ 2)
while your ship will produce no gravitational pull on the mass. Since you obviously connect the mass to the ship (to prevent their coming apart), the
ship and the mass will accelerate indefinitely.
Simple, no? |
