NASA’s EM Drive Thrust from the Forces of the Quantum Vacuum of Spacetime

Abstract

Building on the various manifestations of the forces latent in the quantum vacuum of spacetime such as Hawking's radiation and Unruh temperature, we resolve a major paradox connected to an immensely important proposal by NASA scientists for constructing a practically fuelless spacecraft. In a nutshell, preliminary laboratory work shows that NASA's electromagnetic drive project is viable and several experiments and measurements show it is real. Yet the proposal violates a fundamental principle of classical mechanics, namely Newton's third law. The resolution of this paradox is quite straight forward in principle. It is simply the case that although the proposal seems to be based on classical mechanics and classical thinking it is only superficially so. Deep at the roots, the EM drive proposal of NASA is not classical physics but rather based on the vacuum forces of quantum cosmology and the theory of dark energy density of the universe. In fact the proposal is deeply linked to Hawking's radiation and Unruh temperature, which is explained in some detail in the main body of the present short paper within the frame work of E-infinity Cantorian spacetime theory and D. Gross' Heterotic superstring theory. In short the quintessence of our explanation is to regard the EM drive as a quasi electromagnetic cavity with an effective event horizon akin to that of a Hawking black hole emitting radiation causing ultimately the needed thrust to push the spacecraft forwards. In addition and by invoking fractal spacetime self similarity we show that a spacecraft will be subject to another cosmic thrust on the large scale of the entire cosmos.

“…This is exactly what we conclude from the discussion of section 1.2 as well as this section because we can now get rid of any fundamental distinction between particles and fields or spacetime and quantum waves [20][21]. At the pre-geometry, pre-particle and pre-wave all the imagined fundamental problems evaporate and we are left with very simple golden mean combination [72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82]. The conventional theories by contrast are plagued with paradoxes and anomalies and require a huge super computer and the not yet invented quantum computer to tackle the highly complex time consuming computation if at all practically possible to calculate in the first place.…”

“…The point is that the distinction between dark matter energy and pure dark energy may be explained using the distinction between the Immirzi parameter in eight dimensions and the Unruh temperature in ten dimensions. In other words, the maximal E could be rephrased as in the following equation (27) Put in a different way we may write the exact equation (28) approximately as (29) We stress that here, as before, the approximation stems from ignoring the coupling between dark matter energy and pure dark energy and nothing more than that [70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83].…”
