It's not faster than light speed. So not so sci-fi. But yes, with the current tehnology is not possible to make. BUT the theory checks out. Maybe in 50 years.

More than that. Gravity is weak; gravity-based technologies inevitably need insane amounts of material to work. This particular metric also involves shedding mass, y'know, like a rocket would have anyway.

Wasn't this story posted already here? I don't want to rehash if I don't have to.
