explicit switching factor whereby five different switching functions (based on data
windowing theory) are defined and evaluated. In order to isolate the effects of negative
energy a comparison is made for the response of a detector switched on and off during
a period of negative energy density (or negative energy flux) and that switched on and
off in the vacuum. The results shed light on the response of matter (detectors) to
pulses of negative energy of finite duration, and they showed that negative energy
should have the effect of enhancing deexcitation (i.e., induce cooling) of the detector.
This is the opposite of our experience with detectors that undergo excitation when
encountering "normal" matter or energy, and isolated detectors placed in a vacuum
naturally cool due to the usual thermodynamic reasons. But Davies and Ottewill point
out that the enhanced cooling effect they discovered cannot be used to draw a
thermodynamic conclusion because their modeling was restricted to first order in
perturbation theory. It is not possible at first order to determine whether the enhanced
cooling effects are due to the small violation of energy conservation expected in any
process in which a general quantum state collapses to an energy eigenstate, or whether
they predict a systematic reduction in the energy of the detector which has serious
thermodynamic implications. However, Davies and Ottewill point out that their results
are model dependent and they found for their standard monopole detector model that
there is not always a simple relationship between the strength of the negative energy
density/flux and the behavior of the detector. Further research will be necessary to
resolve these issues.
V. Conclusion: The Way Forward
More than 40 years elapsed between the late 1890s when the Curies first identified
radioactive substances in their laboratory and when a neutron-catalyzed fission chain
reaction - the world's first nuclear reactor - was demonstrated at the University of
Chicago in 1939 by Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard. Six more years would pass before the
world's first nuclear bomb was successfully tested in New Mexico. The progress of
science and technology is rapid, but highly dependent on adequate and sustained focus,
effort, and support. On this basis, it is possible that a traversable wormhole can be
demonstrated in the laboratory as long as there is a focused, sustained level of long-
term research support.
A game changer may appear that could dramatically accelerate or alter the direction of
an experimental traversable wormhole program. Such a game changer could entail new
physics that is predicted by a complete, comprehensive quantum gravity theory, or a
quantum gravity theory that is a subset of a larger unified field theory (i.e., a finalized
quantum superstring theory, or some other theory that replaces it), or a completely
new theory for the quantum vacuum and its related spacetime physics (e.g.,
"emergent" spacetime/gravity theories (Reference 73, 74)). The new field of
"emergent" spacetime/gravity suggests that gravitation is not a fundamental force of
nature because, among many other considerations, of its extreme weakness relative to
the other forces of nature. Instead, spacetime and gravitation are seen as emergent
low-energy phenomenon, which arises from the collective action of much higher-energy
phenomenon occurring in the quantum vacuum where Lorentz invariance and energy
conservation may be violated in the trans-Planckian regime. One now knows empirically
that the "emergent" low-energy vacuum within which one exists is in fact a rich
quantum ether comprised of zero-point fluctuation fields that make it behave like a
nonlinear optical medium endowed with paramagnetic, dichroic, birefringent, condensed
