However, these laws are bound to gravitation and in space they are close to not there. They only occur when you are in a gravitational field of a planet. In addition, there are tests with plasma and electric fields to completely eliminate the phenomenon of gravitation. For that it was necessary to first find the predicted gravitational waves and to characterize them and that was done thanks to CERN. Such a field in the outer skin of a spaceship would also shield the very high radiation that is in space.

Unfortunatly its not. Inertia has nothing to do with gravitation. Where did you hear that? And if there is a way to neutralize it - who knows. On the Enterprise they can, with the Inertia dampeners. Just nobody knows how they work...
I think for interstellar travel, we need to think completely outside the box. The concept we are used to, to move physically through space from A to B, is not applicable for that. We need to manipulate the structure of space itself.
The discovery of gravitational waves may be a important piece of knowledge to go in that direction. I participated a little bit in that - a very little bit. By processing data from the LIGO peoject at home.
some time ago i read this things at science.com... but when you think that you know it better than the researchers, whch are working many years on this, ok :)
I think if Newton's laws have been declared invalid, I would have heard about it. :)
