Advanced Space Propulsion Based on Vacuum (Spacetime Metric) Engineering (entered by Rep. Burchett)

U.S. House Committee Repository · 17 pages · text from the file's own layer

This is an unclassified Defense Intelligence Reference Document (DIA-08-1003-015), dated 29 March 2010. The Defense Intelligence Agency prepared it under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program, and Rep. Burchett entered it into the House committee record. The paper uses a general relativity metric tensor approach to look at how engineering spacetime might enable propulsion, including warp drives, apparent superluminal travel, reduced effective mass and antigravity. It finds these ideas consistent with physics but far beyond present engineering capability.

TIME INTERVAL, FREQUENCY, ENERGY
Begin by considering the case where Vg At1187 when
occurring within the altered spacetime. Conversely, under conditions (for example,
metric engineering) for which \lg. >1, processes within the spacetime-altered region
are sped up. Thus the first entry for a table of physical effects (see Table 1) is made.
Given that frequency measurements are the reciprocal of time duration measurements,
the associated expression for frequency at is given byte) —> ailg o,„ our second entry in
Table 1. This accounts, for example, for the redshifting of atomic emissions from dense
masses where Vg1, blueshifting of
emissions would occur. In addition, given that quanta of energy are given byE=
energy scales with iR as does frequency, E —> E.‘187 , our third entry in the table.
Depending on the value of ,\R in the spacetime-altered region, energy states may be
raised or lowered relative to an unaltered spacetime region.
