"Well, yeah. But it would work once you got up to speed,"

"Ignoring the fact that you people can barely leave the planet at this point, much less travel near the speed of light,"

"Okay, I'll ignore it,"

"It would still only slow things down for you. And it would only be one way - you couldn't use it to go back in time. It's a flawed solution at best,"

"Moving on. You could also compress a planetary mass to a narrow cylinder and spin it at high speeds,"
