Re: Gravity Waves and Impulse Drives

That's not what I meant. I meant that the same experiment to look for gravity waves could also test for random fluctuations of mass. Specifically, either phenomenon would result in a minute trajectory change.

And why wouldn't gravity waves affect mass? According to special relativity any object in an accelerating frame has an instantaneous velocity, kinetic energy, and hence a little extra mass via e=mc^2.
