Summary

This paper is part of a series which the author describes as an 'outgrowth of very preliminary investigations on UFOs'. While this might cause you a frown at first, it is abundant with scientifically based ideas and quite a serious read. The author questions the 'universal speed-limit' of Einstein's special relativity theory and suggests a number of experiments to validate his hypothesis. An extended set of Maxwell's equations is proposed, including magnetic source terms. Observation of black holes is identified as a source for a better understanding of relativistic velocities and effects. The moon is also suggested as a base for experimentation, due to its proximity and lack of a magnetic field. Several possible interactions between gravity and electromagnetics are discussed, and Ball-Lightning is investigated as a model for an interstellar propulsive device.

Abstract

A candidate hyper-light drive is discussed that benefits form increasing electromagnetic effects when a spaceship moves at, or faster than light speed. To emphasize these effects, an alternative derivation of Maxwell's equations is presented for treating magnetic/electric charges by using an 'inverse' Lorentz gauge condition considering pseudo analytical functions. Similarly, vector and scalar electromagnetic potentials may create a pseudo-ether with no discernible electric or magnetic field. These may result in dormant electric and/or magnetic fields which impact the cosmology of the moon and understanding this phenomena may lead to a better understanding of a hyper-light propulsive duct.

Limitations and effects of a General Relativity framework in lieu of Special Relativity are examined that allow additional terms to enter into the equations of motion. Effects near light speed tend to favor an accelerating or decelerating spacecraft. Specific use of ball lightning for this drive is outlined. Finally, the trajectory equations of motion for this spacecraft are transformed into second-order equation with an embedded light speed switch that changes the canonical form of the resulting partial differential equations.
