The Naked Time - Part 2 - Gravitation

June 30 2016
Episode "New Ground", TNG

Do you remember Geordi being fond of testing a new propulsion device? It was the so called Soliton-Wave, some kind of gravitational manipulation (see the pictures), and they tried to surf on it like we ride the powerboards on Risa. A nice episode, allthough Alexander was a little ..., ah, you know what I mean. But whats the catch here?

As far as I knew we weren't able to to fully understand what Gravity is, nor how it works. But that's not true as we already proved that there are "Gravitational Waves". I stumbled upon this article:

Gravitational Waves detected

Is that the first step towards the "World Formula"? Could a gravitational propulsion device be possible? Or does that mean, if we are able to influence these waves, could we travel freely through space (like the wormholes) or perhaps even time (like some wormholes)? What do you make out of this?

Pictures were taken from this site, also worth a look if you don't know it:
