*....now if gravity fields and magnetic fields are two different forms of energy, it stands to reason that one would have no effect on the other, just as it stands to reason that if, at this time Quantum theory only postulates the existence of tachyons, which, being superluminal, they could not exist in normal space time, which then makes it impossible for tachyons to be part of the jump drive process, which in and of itself cannot be instantaneous, since that would exceed c^2 of the equation E=mc^2, or exceeding the speed of pure energy.... which would ruin your entire day since you would never return to being matter..... Now, that being said, and working with quantum theory, as described in string theory, a vessel could fold space time, allowing it to drop out of this space time, dropping into subspace and then, in theory move from point a to point b, in a specific amount of time, but not instantly, AND more importantly, without breaking any laws of physics... Which means the author really should have done more research into the physics of faster than light travel, considering that a number of theoritical physicists have done the math AND worked out all the kinks..... Of course, a subspace jump would be dependent on having enough energy available to create a gravity well that would rival a black hole..... Which is why the current theory of the physicist Miguel Alcubierre is theoritically possible... even if his math is a bit shaky in the area of the intersection of null space and the physical space time continuium.....
