The Space Studies Institute used to support such things too. They are specifically an R&D support organization. Good thought guys and I need to send each outfit in question a note and ask them what their current R&D grants requirements are these days. The last time I looked they were more intereste...

Isn't gluon energy quantized? As far as I can tell the strong force between quarks and gluons in hadron/baryons like protons and neutrons is modeled as a constant 100,000 Newton pull strength between the gluons and quarks, so yes they are quantized in a way, but it is NOT quantized like electron mo...

Now 90+% of the rest mass of the proton is tied up in the kinetic energy of these gluons that never cease to be in motion, even if the proton in question is standing still relative to the rest of the universe. The gluon’s kinetic energy is the source of the M-E because it is the seat of the gravine...

A force ... which preferentially acts on mass nearly at rest relative to the thruster. That's my own idea. Power equals force times velocity, after all, and I don't see any other way to get the 1 N/W talked about by the proponents unless there's an awful lot of seriously weird sympathetic energy tr...

Unless I'm mistaken (apologies in advance if I am), Woodward or one of his colaborators either based their hypothesies on, or their hypothesies were well-fitting with Barbour's non-time theory. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKsNraFxPwk See Woodward's Foundations of Physics' "Killing Time" paper fo...

I don't think you understand the issue of frame-specific entropy, then. For 'work' to be done, there has to be some capability for a change of state to occur 'exothermically', that is to say, entropy increases. If you have a well-defined (by position and momentum) set of particles then they have a ...

Your initial objection was that energy was apparently being created out of nothing. I pointed out that no, momentum and energy are being harvested from matter all across the universe (the magnitude and direction of this process at any instant obviously depends on the reference frame). You then star...

You've started insulting people now Who, me? Who have I insulted? I've insulted a 'creation', this being the 'subject' of my statement. If someone infers that the idea they hold so dear to them is shot down by me, I'm not shooting them down, only their love for the idea. Energy cannot be preserved ...

If your collegue Mr. Palfreyman was correct in his STAIF 2006 interview, negative mass is not achieved, but instead the decreasing mass signal slides toward zero on an asymptotic curve. Has this suspicion/critique of his been addressed? We have not experimentally explored the wormhole issue you rai...

We have not experimentally explored the wormhole issue you raise yet. The M-E derivation indicates that the delta mass density can go down to zero, but past that it is mute, so we will either have to develope a quantum gravity theory to see if creating the negative energy densities required for the...

You can reverse the MLT thrust vector by simply flipping the phases of the applied MLT cap E-field and force rectification B-field by 180 degrees. That E- and B-field phase flip reverses the thrust vector 180 degrees at a goodly percentage of the speed of light. If you want to read more, see my STA...

If you are referring to the M-E impulse term as a transient inertia damping field or spherical kink in the G/I field around the local mass that propagates away at the speed of c both forwards and backwards in time, my answer is yes it is. In other words, the G/I field IS the source of inertia. If y...

The magic you refer to is wrapped around the question of what is the origins of inertia and inertial mass, and can it be dynamically modified by applied E&M fields? In the GRT/Machian view, (QM also takes a different position on this question), the property we call inertial mass comes about from th...

I may be too close to the topic to be of much good to you but consider this. Given that a capacitor dielectric can vary its total mass cyclically over a period of time around an average value, and you can apply an external force to the dielectric so it pushes the dielectric when it is heavy and the...
