I was thinking today about traveling faster, maybe not the speed of light, but perhaps a lot faster than we do today.
I came up with a small idea that maybe if two different objects of the same mass pushing on each other with the same force. Perhaps taking another objects and wedging it in between those two objects. Like 2 rubber balls and putting a 3rd ball in between them and applying the same force. Wouldn't the ball shoot out from in between them very fast?
I was just throwing around the possibility if they could make two objects with the same mass and force to possibly orbit each other and then, using a craft that can generate a magnetic field or something, place another object in between them. Would it shoot off like a ball would?
Note: I'm just 13 and I don't really know much about this kind of thing. This was just a thought I had today.
