Cue "Three Body Problem" trilogy references

  Gravitational waves in the series are only mentioned briefly, as a telecommunication medium. IMO communicating with gravity waves is excessive, and they're not faster than electromagnetic radiation.

    Obviously not the graviational waves, but I was also thinking abouth the warp bubbles used in FTL travelling (and its abuse) distorting space time forever

      But all space travel in "The Three Body Problem" is subluminical? I can't even recall a single Liu Cixin story with FTL space travel. The closest situation I can think of is ST TNG "Force of Nature", where warp travel was damaging subspace.

        Damn! True, sorry about that!
