Would this be possible - a spaceship detaches from the fabric or space-time sending a spherical ripple traveling at c which reforms at a diameter's distance bringing the space-ship back into being there. Because the ripple travels a longer distance than the space-ship, the spaceship would travel less than c so it wouldn't violate relativity.

Basically a refinement of this idea is the Alcubierre space warp, one of a variety of suggestive but not yet practical "metric engineering" approaches within general relativity.

Yes, I believe your idea to be possible.

Good luck proving it but!

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
