In fact, the idea of an anti-gravity (also warp/hyper/electric) drives does not stand up to any criticism already within the framework of solutions to Einstein's equations. 0. Well, what if you really want to, but "can't"? 1. Everything is much simpler: all the bodies on the basis of which spaceships can be built have mass and, therefore, the gravitational field. 2. And if we find out that there is a gravitational field*, we can create a detector that could absorb its own field around the entire perimeter of the ship. 3. It is clear that then the spacecraft would become “gravitationally invisible" to the rest of the masses and, moreover, the absorbed energy of its own gravitational field can be used to control the ship; and this is not reactive motion, and it's not antigravity. 4.Since real gravitational fields are variable in space and time, it is obvious that the process of absorption of the field has a permanent character:“If we abandon the requirement of static, then in the dynamic model the energy of self-action ( equal to the mass defect) it is spontaneously illuminated in the form of quanta ( or gravitational waves ). The observer will detect a decrease in the mass of the field (mass defect) only after the energy of the field "passes by it". Up to this point, any transformations of the energy-mass of the field have no effect on the mass of the field measured by the observer, according to the law of conservation of energy.”(“GR and Astrophysics", Zeldovich, Novikov). 5..By the way, when it comes to UFOs, according to eyewitnesses, these objects glow, which may be evidence of the effect of energy conversion of self-action (interaction with vacuum): The UFO's own gravitational field is converted into useful energy. 6. Moreover, the ship will look like a “UFO” not only for observers, but also for all particles (also massless) in the Universe: the general background of gravity will perceive the ship as an alien object and will expel the "stranger" from its environment as a result of asymmetric, non-forceful interaction, because according to the principle of equivalence, the object is so it also “loses” its inertial properties for an external observer. 7. Since the background is heterogeneous and not isotropic, the ship's autopilot will be able to assess the situation, maneuver the accumulated energy of the ship's own field and “flit” along the planned route without the need to go to other dimensions back and forth; and, of course, without using any kind of engine. 8. This is not a “like a stowaway”, but the same natural movement as free fall {movement along a geodesic line, which is the most general formulation of Newton's first law (Galileo's law)}: free movement. 9.Obviously, the accumulated energy and the ejection energy are not negative.

---------------- *) - “Visualization” of space-time is currently possible. 0.Apparently GR was an overlooked QG: this assumption follows from the Schwarzschild solution and can be tested experimentally in the laboratory at the moment. 1.The gravitational radius (or Schwarzschild radius) is a characteristic radius defined for any physical body with mass: r(G)=2GM/c^2. Consequently: 2E(0)/r(G)=F(pl)=c^4/G=ε(pl)/r(pl): with indicating the mutual quantization of the mass (energy) and space-time: m(0)/m(pl)=r(G)/2r(pl)=n,where n-total number of quanta of the system; the tension vector flux: n=[(1/4π)(Gћc)^-½]gS ( const for all orbits of the system: n=0,1,2,3....). 2.Moreover, the parameter r(0)=r(G)-r(pl)=(2n-1)r(pl), defining the interval of the formation of the system, at n=0, when r=r(G)=0 (for example, the state of the "universe" before the Big Bang) turns out to be a quite definite quantity: r(0)=-r(pl). In the area [(-rpl) - 0 - (+rpl)] there is an implementation of external forces, "distance": (-rpl)+(+rpl)=0 (≠2rpl). 3.On the Kruskal diagram of the hyperbole r=0 corresponds to the true Schwarzschild feature, the features V and VI are not even covered by the global (R, T)- space-time and correspond to the "absolute" vacuum; then the singular areas above and below the hyperbolas r=0 can be formally treated as the energy source (external forces). That is, the frightening "true singularity" is actually a superconducting heterotrophic "window" between the proto-universe (the source) and physical bodies (not to be confused with wormholes, it's more like grounding from electrical engineering). 4.As a fundamental theory, GR has the ability with just one parameter: r(G)/r=q to predict, explain new physical effects, and amend already known ones. Photon frequency shift in gravitational field Δw/w(0)=q; the angle of deflection of a photon from a rectilinear propagation path =2q, the Newtonian orbit of the planet shifts forward in its plane: during one revolution, a certain point of the orbit is shifted by an angle =3πq, for a circular orbit (eccentricity е=0); in the case of an elliptical orbit - for example, for perihelion displacement, the last expression must be divided by (1-e^2). 5.The parameter q is not necessarily a measure of the deviation of the metric from the pseudo-Euclidean one, since in the quantized phase space q=πr/L, where L is the length of the phase path and πr^2=r(G)L. 6.GR/QG predicts a new physical effect: w/w(pl)=q; expression for gravitational radiation from a test body. 7.This is amenable to physical examination in laboratory conditions at present. 8.From this, generally, from Einstein's equations, where the constant c^4/G=F(pl), one can obtain a quantum expression (as vibration field) for the gravitational potential: ф(G)=(-1/2)[Għ/с]^½ (w)=-[h/4πm(pl)]w. 9.Final formula:ф(G)=-[w/w(pl)]c^2/2, where ф(G) - is Newtonian gravitational potential, r(n')=nλ/π=(n+n')2r(pl)l , the corresponding orbital radius, w - the frequency of the quanta of the gravitational field (space-time). 10.Obviously, the quanta of the field are themselves quantized: λ=(1+n'/n)λ(pl) = 2πc/w, where n'/n=M/2∆m: system gravity unpacking ratio, n'- the orbit number (n'=0,1,2,3…). M is the total mass, M
