The SETI project's basic aim is to detect space junk. It just happens that the form of junk they are looking for comes in the form of radio waves

Isn't gravity actually omni-present? In fact, I think the big crunch theory was based on the idea that universal expansion would slow to a point that matter would no longer move fast enough to escape it's collective gravitational pull, and collapse on itself

You could theoretically argue that the space-time depressions that cause gravity are felt at all points in space (especially since all matter creates it's own gravity at varying magnitudes dependent on density), but my personal stance is that an anti-gravity drive is only useful for hovering ships over planets. Seems to me that in deep space they would be basically useless.
I really can't comment on the whole anti-gravity thing, because I just skim over anything BB posts. But was just pointing out that gravity is pretty pervasive, even if weak
PS I'm listening to an awesome down-tempo album from a band called "Carl Sagan's ghost".
