phantom mass, gives craft a core of its own...
In order to produce phantom mass you need to be able to manipulate gravity waves to create an interference pattern or lensing effect. Like using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight on an ant hill. We don't quite know how to do that yet.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction in Physics (as we know it). Towing a planet would not only require enormous energies, but would also require that there is something to react against (presumably, at a distance). Until we develop gravitational control, I don't think that your proposal is possible (and gravitational control may also, itself be impossible).

Can you imagine how large a systems planets and Star(s) would have to be in order for a planet like EA*RTH to be seen in size comparison there as an asteroid-comet wondering. And then some from there doing what NASA is attempting to do here with the asteroid towing just with more advanced interest at mind for Species Growth...
Now add the use of a Power source from hidden Neutron Star or Star-Nebula-Black hole that carries gamma energy gravitational-magnetic like properties that then can be manipulated to pull -tug /warm-ignite growth process of said celestial of interest why its towed into its growth range zone for specified species of interest or a STAR craft that can just hull an entire planet that would be a very large ship yes

Alternatively, with enough energy to put a warp bubble around an entire planet, or even a sun, one could 'simply' warp anything anywhere.

Well visualise our dimensional membrane lieing like blotting paper over another dimensional membrane from which gravity seeps into and saturates our membrane, now you understand the concept that the whole universe even empty space and matter are essentially made of the same thing, well matter is the same thing existing as a standing wave from at right angles to the percieved flow of time in sympathy with the time space continuum, so if the gravity is saturating the whole membrane it stands to reason as matter is the membrane more densely packed in relative volume it will have more gravity saturating it and this is how mass has gravity, now if you can manipulate the membrane interaction's using interdimensional physics based science you can increase and decrease the saturation for a given region of space.

Great post!
I have often pondered this question, and it may also answer a few more nagging questions.
I have often wondered why the moon is not rotating, it just sits there motionless, yet has been cratered from all sides.
The Dillon-Wagoner Graviton Polarity Generator, known colloquially as the spindizzy is a fictitious anti-gravity device imagined by James Blish for his series Cities in Flight. This device grows more efficient with the amount of mass being lifted, which was used as the hook for the stories—it was more effective to lift entire cities than it was something smaller, such as a classic spaceship. This is taken to extremes in the final stories, in which an entire planet is used to cross the galaxy in a matter of hours using the spindizzy drive.
According to the stories, the spindizzy is based on principles contained in an equation coined by P.M.S. Blackett, a British physicist of the mid-20th century. Several other Blish stories involving novel space drives contain the same assertion. Blackett's original formula was an attempt to correlate the known magnetic fields of large rotating bodies, such as the Sun, Earth, and a star in Cygnus whose field had been measured indirectly.
[...]
Blish's extrapolation was that if rotation + mass produces magnetism via gravity, then rotation + magnetism could produce anti-gravity. The field created by a spindizzy is described as altering the magnetic moment of any atom within its influence.

Larry Niven addressed this very issue in "World out of Time" many years ago.
If you have a super-technical civilization, say 500 to 1000 years ahead of us now, given no more wars or famine, then you can use a gas giant as a working body. You need to have very very large space engineering capability, and the ability to cause direct conversion or fusion of light hydrogen. Other than that, no probs!
Is it possible or impossible for an advanced CREATOR Creation Group to TOW planets near power sources like Stars-Nebula-black holes etc.. in order to initiate genetic or artificial growth of some kind?

If your asking if the laws of physics allows such a thing then....... Yes. If your asking if we can do it with our current technology............ No.
Same with exploiting or creating wormholes, while theoretically possible, the energy and technology needed to accomplish the task is far greater than we possess at this time.
And some of the math is still a little shaky and you don't want sketchy math when your using anything that involves that much energy.edit on 22-10-2013 by Helious because: (no reason given)
