Warp Drive Propulsion Using Magnetic Fields to Distort Space-Time

Authors: John R. Cipolla
Comments: 14 Pages.

First Successful Warp Drive Flight: This analysis provides insight into how magnetic fields may be combined to produce a warp bubble like the expansion-compression warp bubble predicted by Alcubierre’s solution derived from Einstein’s theory of general relativity but without the requirement for negative energy. The shape of the magnetic field warp bubble generated by this analysis indicates a subluminal (v < c) type of warp drive propulsion based on magnetic fields may be technically possible. These results are based on the theory that magnetic field forces of attraction and repulsion are a relativistic effect caused by fast moving electrically charged particles that distort space-time. Where, magnetic field forces of attraction and repulsion are a relativistic effect because space-time length contraction in the direction of moving electrons increases the density of charged particles and associated electrical forces. The expansion of space-time and the simultaneous compression of space-time in regions around intense magnetic fields described here are similar in principle to Alcubierre’s superluminal (faster than light) warp drive. This newly defined and simplified mechanism is in fact a true warp drive. Where, it is postulated that objects whose inertia has been reduced by a magnetic field warp bubble can accelerate to speeds and altitudes greater than similar objects of equivalent mass. As discussed in "Introducing Physical Warp Drives" the magnetic field warp bubble proposed in this paper only requires standard methods of propulsion to accelerate. Finally, an experimental device based on the magnetic field warp bubble successfully accelerated a projectile to altitude and speed greater than objects of equivalent mass when accelerated by magnetic-pole to magnetic-pole field orientation.

The Universe in the Form of a Vortex Thor Does Not Need Dark Energy (Part 1)

Authors: Nikolay Lutsenko
Comments: 19 Pages. in Russian [Corrections are made by viXra Admin to comply with the rules of viXra.org]

A new model of the structure of the Universe in the form of a vortex torus has been proposed. Equations were obtained for the dependence of the change in the volume of space, the dependence of the rate of change in the volume and the dependence of the acceleration/deceleration of the change in the volume of the space of the vortex torus, depending on the parametric angle of its generating circle. A number of observational cosmic facts that have not been explained within the framework of the existing standard cosmological model have been verified for their full compliance with the proposed New Model of the Universe in the form of a vortex torus. For the first time, an explanation of some unsolved space problems was obtained using a single Model, i.e. proof "from one place", without darning existing standard theories and without attracting additional new ad hoc hypotheses to replace the old ones that do not work. A new concept of the accelerated expansion of the Universe was presented. It is shown why the currently observed accelerated expansion of space is cyclical and not constant. The riddle of Dark Energy has been solved: the reason for the accelerated expansion of the space of the Universe in the form of a vortex torus has been found, due solely to its topology, which does not require the presence of any physical forces, neither known nor hypothetical. The road has been cleared for further accelerated development of cosmological science as the leading science of the future.

Model of the Origin of the Universe: Stationary or Creationist?

Authors: Bezverkhniy Volodymyr Dmytrovych
Comments: 6 Pages.

After analyzing the stationary and creationist models of the Universe, it is shown that the most scientifically substantiated model is the stationary Universe with various equilibrium, dynamic processes and phenomena. All creationist models, both scientific and religious, come into insurmountable contradiction with A. Einstein's STR, since they postulate the primary existence of an ideal world before the formation of the Universe, that is, before the formation of space-time.

Solar System, Angular Momentum & Dark Matter Reactors

Authors: Vladimir S. Netchitailo
Comments: 15 Pages.

The developed Hypersphere World-Universe Model (WUM) is consistent with all Concepts of the World [1]. In WUM, we postulate the principal role of Angular Momentum and Dark Matter in Cosmological theories of the World. The most widely accepted model of Solar System formation, known as the Nebular hypothesis, does not solve the Angular Momentum problem – why is the orbital momentum of Jupiter larger than rotational momentum of the Sun? WUM is the only cosmological model in existence that is consistent with this Fundamental Law. The Nebular hypothesis does not solve Internal Heating and Diversity problems for all Planets and Moons in Solar system – why the actual mean surface temperature of them is higher than their effective temperature calculated based on the Sun’s heat for them and how could each one be so different if all of them came from the same nebula? The proposed concept of Dark Matter Reactors in Cores of all gravitationally-rounded Macroobjects successfully resolves these problems.

Theory for Motion Observation

Authors: Fang Zhou
Comments: 193 pages, in chinese language

The objectively existing in nature transformation of space-time for the case of observers’ mutual uniform motion and limited light velocity is firstly revealed. The discovered transformation, referred to as Galilean-Zhou Transformation , is logically derived by author, using both the principle of relativity and the postulate of constancy of the light velocity. The Galilean-Zhou Transformation is actually and essentially the General Galilean Transformation. A new theory of special relativity, referred to as ‘Theory for Motion Observation’ is put forward. The theoretical interpretation for Hubble’s Law is firstly revealed by author, and the Kepler’s Law is as well reviewed, utilizing Galilean-Zhou Transformation.

Correlation Between Hubble ho Early-to-Late Universe, and Photon Energy/wavelength Between the uv and Far-Infrared Region of the Electromagnetic Spectrum

Authors: Douglas K. Robinson
Comments: 3 Pages.

The intrinsic nonlinear energy/wavelength ratio of electromagnetic radiation between the ultraviolet and far infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, is compared to the velocity/distance interpretation of spectral shifts in ancient starlight. The correlation at 8% suggests a review of the velocity-distance interpretation of spectral shifts is warranted. Given the potential impact for the standard lambda CDM cosmological model, and notwithstanding a credible theory to account for photon energy loss over millennia in transit, the correlation nevertheless challenges the current interpretation of redshift for determining the Hubble constant H0 for the early and late universe and dark energy, the existence of which has been speculatively introduced to account for the increasing rate of redshifts observed in the late universe.

Using the Methodology of the Relativity Theory in Describing the Orbital Motion of Mercury

Authors: Nikolay Ostrovskiy
Comments: 7 Pages.

The theory of relativity, the subject of which is the comparison of the results of observations (calculations) carried out in different reference frames, is used in the description of the planets movement in connection with the following aspects. (1) Astronomers observe the motions of the planets in the geocentric coordinate system and then recalculate the elements of motion for the heliocentric system. (2) The motion of the planets relative to the Sun is composite and includes motion in the orbital plane and rotation of the orbital plane (precession). (3) Observers on Earth record the position of the planet that it occupied earlier. The time interval depends on the distance between the Earth and the planet and it changes depending on the change in this distance. These aspects are considered in the article on the example of the Mercury.

Gravitational Waves and the Black Hole Information Paradox

Authors: Eran Sinbar
Comments: 2 Pages.

The black hole information paradox is a contradiction between quantum mechanics and general relativity. Information which enters the black hole can never escape due to the extreme gravitational curvature of space-time, while at the same time the black hole slowly evaporates through the Hawking radiation due to virtual pairs generated at the surface of the event horizon. This collision of the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics with the extreme gravitation predicted by general relativity can generate new ideas regarding the behavior of space-time. This paper suggests that information can escape from the black hole gravitational grip due to gravitational waves in the fabric of space time.

Physical Constants Starting with “6” or “1/6” at Various Scales: Mere Coincidence or Sixfold Symmetry in Spacetime ?

Authors: Bruno R Galeffi
Comments: 7 Pages.

The variety of physical constants starting with "6" or "1.6" seems to postulate the existence of a sixfold symmetry in spacetime, a fundamental property found in the geometry of the so-called “flower-of-life”. Further, a formula bridging the cosmic and the Planck scales through the fine-structure constant is also presented.

Explaining Relativity: Summary of TAU - A Unified Theory

Authors: Andrew Holster
Comments: 116 Pages.

This is a summary presentation of TAU, a theory proposed to explain relativity and unify physics. It is a radical change, because it proposes six dimensions of space, instead of the usual three (normal physics) or nine (string theory). It starts with an alternative foundation for Special Relativity, and leads to a unified theory of physics. It is a realist theory because it is realist about space and time. The TAU concept is briefly introduced here, and its results explained in three main areas, particles, gravity and cosmology. In these areas it makes strong predictions and has several tests. This presentation is based around these applications and the key questions of completing a full particle model, and completing tests of gravity and tests of cosmology. These will decide its fate as an empirical theory. The aim here is to give an overview, in reasonable detail for generalists to see how the model works, but with a minimum of theoretical derivations, so we do not get too bogged down in equations. There are a lot of illustrations instead. Please note this is only a survey of the theory, and a more detailed introduction with proofs follows in Chapters 2-6, where it is developed in stages. In the first half here, we go quickly over the main concepts, in the second half, we give some equations for cosmology and gravity solutions in more detail, because they are more novel.

Relativity’s Fundamental Ideas

Authors: Edward G. Lake
Comments: 8 Pages. minor corrections

Einstein’s 1905 and 1915 papers on Relativity contain fundamental ideas that deserve individual study and understanding. Looking at them as specific "ideas," instead of as "principles" or "concepts," allows a clearer understanding of how they work together, separate from the many different ways they can be expressed mathematically.

Is the Universe Still Flat?

Authors: Thomas Neil Neubert
Comments: 6 Pages.

Is the universe still flat? Why do so few scientists understand, accept, and discuss the systemic problems inherent in a flat universe metatheory (a.k.a. the Standard Model of Cosmology)? Furthermore, why are the majority of physicists and astrophysicist so certain, that in the upcoming CERN antimatter gravity free fall experiments, that antihydrogen will fall down in the Earth’s gravitational field? And why are the remaining minority so certain that antihydrogen will fall up? Why does no one predict a null result (as I do)? The upcoming 2022 CERN ALPHA antimatter gravity free fall experiments are crucial tests of quantum gravity. But the predictions, that antihydrogen atoms will fall down or up, are based on false confidence in classical gravity analogies. Much physics is gravitationally unsolved or disputed. Baryon asymmetry, cosmic inflation, extra dimensions, size and shape of the universe, black hole information paradox, white holes, the equivalence principle, the graviton, quantum gravity, dark matter, and whether gravitational waves carry energy or not are disputed or unsolved gravity physics problems. If antihydrogen atoms fall down in the Earth’s gravitation field, we learn little; if they fall up, we learn a bit more. But with a high precision null result, in CERN’s upcoming antimatter gravity free fall experiments, physics and astronomy will need to reconsider everything. I cannot think of another gravity experiment, that is possibly more consequential to the development of quantum gravity and that opens the floodgates of new physics. So why aren’t theorists sharpening their pencils and developing hypotheses that would explain a null result to the upcoming CERN antimatter gravity experiment? Lack of imagination? Overconfidence? Certainty? Let’s try to loosen the authority of the peer reviewed crowd. Galileo said, “In science the authority of thousands of opinions is not worth as much as one tiny spark of reason in an individual man.” If in the CERN antimatter gravity free fall experiments antihydrogen falls up or down; then my recent paper A Toy Gravity Universe and the Quantum Graviton (which predicts a null result) is absolutely incorrect. With a null result, my paper may be mostly correct. Either way, physics needs a quantum gravity metatheory to guide experimental and mathematical physics. This paper describes how to developing such. The foundation prediction of my quantum gravity metatheory is that antimatter will neither fall up nor down in Earth’s gravitational field. Fortunately, CERN has been preparing the necessary experiment for decades.

Bell’s Spaceship Paradox from the Perspective of Length Expansion

Authors: KyeongDo Kwak
Comments: 4 Pages.

Many researchers argue that strings break when discussing Bell's spaceship paradox. This is described under the premise that the length contraction is correct. However, I studied the spaceship parable from the point of view of length expansion, not length contraction. I examined whether there were logical contradictions among observers, and I also examined the relationship between the basic rule of relativity and causality.

Candidates for Novel EM Propulsion

Authors: Remi Cornwall
Comments: 28 Pages. Presented at APEC Conference 10th July 2021 [Corrections made by viXra Admin to conform with the requirements on the Submission Form]

Activities currently falling into 3 main areas – 2nd Law exceptions, FTL exceptions and Electromagnetic propulsion. No intention of having 3 such contentious projects, enquiries just ended up that way. I like things with a “mechanism” (a rationale, in the sense of a chemist – atoms, objects in motion etc.), not just a mathematical proof, something physical a prelude to experiment. Shall focus on EM propulsion today and if there’s time, maybe a little bit about the other projects.

The Submarine Paradox from the Perspective of Length Expansion

Authors: KyeongDo Kwak
Comments: 4 Pages.

In this study, the submarine paradox proposed by Supplee was approached with the length expansion theory rather than the length contraction theory. I looked at how the density of submarines changes and whether this paradox can be solved without contradiction. In addition to what Supplee described, I have studied this problem by adding an observer to the sky. As a result, I looked to see if additional contradictions arise in this paradox or if the contradictions are resolved. Additionally, I studied the commonalities between this paradox and the paradox of the constancy of the speed of light.
