I think for that to work, you'd have to have a mass of absolutely 0.

It's mass, not weight, that determines limits on acceleration given a finite force.  So that wouldn't help.  More importantly though, an anti-gravity generator is probably more far-fetched with current technology and understanding of the laws of Physics than a FTL drive of any kind.
who needs a signature? ;)
It's not much of an excuse for a website, but my stuff can be found here

well i dont see FTL happening without AG unless you use the B method of travel (dimensional portal to a place that is 100000x more compressed than ours) oh the bending of space thing :)

From what I hear, some kind of transporter technology is more likely. You send a robotic probe, it lands on the planet, sets up the transporter mechanism, then you just send people over. Hopefully you get the coordinates right. And pretty soon you have Just As Fast As Light (JAFAL) travel.
