Disturbing Implications of Land Rising into the Sky

[M Fnord]

Let's cut to the chase here - could someone crazy enough and determined enough and with enough connections and patience lift an entire CITY off the planet?

---

Probably, yeah. Given enough handwavium with a clear enough plan in mind and enough time to reinforce the undersurface, you could launch a city. Keeping it *viable* would be another story altogether - you'd need either a pressure dome enclosing the city, or to pressurize all the buildings and create pressurized connections between them; both of which are not jobs that could be done on the QT.

What if the city that rises up out of the gravity well -
- is Jerusalem?

*visibly restrains self from launching into a verse of "Jews In Space"*
Jerusalem would be a holy mother bitch to wave and launch; leaving aside political problems, the city's infrastructure is hella old and only haphazardly updated. Just getting the wave to everywhere would be a major challenge in and of itself. If you *really* wanted to play "throw major Abrahamic holy sites into space" it'd be easier just to wave the sites themselves and go from there.---
