false minima would be artificially created via the adjustment of the extra dimension
(see Figure 8). These modified regions would correspond to increased and negative
dark energy densities, thus creating the warp bubble previously discussed.
7.4 ELEMENTARY WARP DRIVE CALCULATIONS
This section will explore the calculations relevant to propulsion. Specifically, it will
determine the energy required to accelerate a spacecraft to the speed of light. By
associating the cosmological constant with the higher dimensional Casimir energy, a
straightforward relation between A and the radius of the extra dimensions can be
determined:
(7.1)
A simpler way of developing the relationship between the energy density of space and
the expansion of space is to express A as a function of Hubble's constant, H:
Hoc ✓A, (7.2)
which is a standard result obtained from GR. From these two formula, a relationship
between the expansion of space and the radius of the extra dimension can be shown:
(7.3)
This formula really expresses the foundation of this novel warp drive concept: that a
sufficiently advanced technology with the ability to adjust the radius of the extra
dimension locally would be able to locally adjust the expansion and contraction of
spacetime around a spacecraft. This asymmetric expansion creates the warp bubble
illustrated in Figure 1. The spacecraft would always move within its own light cone and
thus would not contradict any law of special relativity. The possibility that the higher
dimensional radius might vary from place to place has been explored in the context of
string theory (Reference 57), and so is a valid academic pursuit. However, it has never
before been suggested that this might facilitate a new and exotic form of propulsion.
Equations (7.1) and (7.2) used together express a relationship between the expansion
of space and the energy density of space. A sufficient increase in the energy density of
space would generate a proportional increase in the expansion of space. Thus calculate
the energy density of space that would be necessary to generate a local expansion of
space at the speed of light. A local expansion at the speed of light, Hubble's constant
must be increased by a factor of:
(7.4)
where H, represents the modified Hubble's constant, and the subscript c indicates that it
is the Hubble's constant for the case of light speed expansion. H must be increased by
a factor of 10 26 to achieve a local expansion of space equivalent to the speed of light.
