In Response To: *Brain explodes* (Gryphonosiris) : Man, and I thought I was a geek, and I say that with the utmost repect,

hehehe :P Well Larry Niven never really had to explain how a stasis box worked, only that you could not see through it and a few other properties of the box. The big leap of faith isn't that time can be slowed down relative to the point of view of others, we already believe time can be significantly affected at least theoritically around strong gravitational sources such as a black hole. The leap of faith is if it is possible to actually create gravitational forces or have other ways of doing this without actually having to carry a black hole around (which would be a very expensive way of doing things). I wonder how Covenant shield and artificial gravity technology works?
