I think if you got inertia and have something to counter the force, like for instance "sound - anti sound" you make zero inertia.. So, force minus force equals zero..But probably the technology to do this at the precise time maybe lacks. What wonders me more is how would they know if the path they travel is clear of obsticals at high speed?

Well if the anti-gravity explanations are true, then I guess the craft's gravity amplifiers "warp" or "stretch out" the space in front of them and pulls their destination closer to the craft. If this is truly the case, then obviously there wouldn't be any obsticle in the way...
From Wiki: Inertial compensators, or inertial dampers (as they are more often called) are fictional devices aboard starships in some science fiction series, including Star Trek, Star Wars and Stargate. Futuristic space travel generally involves accelerating to superluminal velocity in short time. However the enormous g-forces so generated would be sufficient to crush many things on board—bulkheads, equipment, and, of course, human bodies. Inertial compensators provide a mechanism to counteract such g-forces and protect all on board. They also act as a form of universal seat belt, protecting crews from the inertial forces caused by the ships's regular manoeuvring. Without inertial compensators, space travel would be rendered extremely slow, as a ship would only be permitted to accelerate at a pace tolerable to human beings.
From Wiki: Sound is a pressure wave, which consists of a compression phase and a rarefaction phase. If a noise-cancellation speaker emits a sound wave with the same amplitude and the opposite polarity (in antiphase) to the original sound, the waves combine to form a new wave, in a process called interference, and effectively cancel each other out, an effect which is called phase cancellation, the desired result being that there is no sound at all, though such efficiency has yet to be obtained. Depending on the circumstances and the method used, the resulting soundwave may be so faint as to be inaudible to human ears.
