"The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible." -Albert Einstein.Last year the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
awarded a prize to Walter Dröscher and Jochem Häuser, a physicist and
computer scientist, for an experimental process that might make
hyper-space travel a reality (Image: anti-gravity spacesuit).If the process works it could get a spaceship to Mars and back in
about five hours. The Experimental theories proposed by Dröscher and
Häuser involving using a large ring centered around a super- conducting
coil, once power is provided to the coil and an electromagnetic field
is in place the ring will float. In essence this will produce a
magnetic field strong enough to reduce the effects of earth''s gravity
on the spacecraft. An article in the New Scientist revels some of the
forces that would be at work if this experiment was put to the test:
"...to completely counter Earth''s pull on a 150-tonne spacecraft a
magnetic field of around 25 tesla would be needed. While that''s 500,000
times the strength of Earth''s magnetic field, pulsed magnets briefly
reach field strengths up to 80 tesla." These forces if applied with enough power could create graviphotons,
that would react with conventional gravity making for an anti-gravity
reaction. This reaction would create or send the ship (the scientists
themselves seem a bit unclear as to the details, but what can you do,
its quantum mechanics!) into dimensional hyper-space, where light could
move much faster.This new type of scientific understanding could redefine space
travel in the coming millennia. The massive fuel burnout of the
booster pods on conventional spaceships would be replaced by a much
more this much more efficent form of transportation. The worries of
extended travel times and their possibly destructive consequences would
be unnecessary, although they will most probably be replaced with a
different sorts of problem. The difficulties encountered would be, literally out of this world.
The hyper-space reality and the experiment process developed for
accessing it are based on the research of Burkhard Heim, a German
Physicist whose work on a propulsion theory is based in the field of
quantum mechanics, a field of study that is hard to understand even for
the people that discovered it.
Richard Feynman is famously and
continuously quoted as saying "I think I can safely say that no-one
understands quantum mechanics." Quantum physics and general relativity have been at odds with each
other for many years, and physicists all around the globe have been
working hard to change this discrepency and heal the rift in the world
of physics. Burkhard heim was attempting to complete this healing, the
same healing he could not do for his own body for he was confined to a
wheelchair at age nineteen while working in an explosives factory. During his younger years he was a brilliant and self-driven student,
after the accident he become extremely reclusive and after his theories
went public in 1957 he almost completely disappeared from public view.
This recent unveiling of Dröscher and Häuser''s experimental propulsion
system returns these brilliant theories to where they should be,
updating and redesign the annals of physics. Heim''s theories have the potential to unite the fabric of the
universe and it''s strange and slippery insulation, hIs theory takes the
four dimensions of space and time and adds a few. These new dimensions
are the thread that connects the fabric of space time and once they are
understood fully could bring the stars within our reach. Of course the
question must be asked: is that a good thing? There are a lot of
planets out there, mafigure out how to live on this one
