Overview

In this book, we continue from Volume 69 to explore Lorentz Transformation Factors in the context of relativistic light sails. However, we delve into some rather unique concepts for first time derivatives of each of a very large number of propulsion power terms which as a set are formulated as a linear combination to thus derive gamma for travel in spatial or space-like displacement as a function of time for more than one temporal dimension. Gamma may thus plausibly be interpreted as a universal degree of time dilation in the one currently known temporal dimension. However, in the case where a spacecraft would experience extreme time dilation in the one known temporal dimension, the slowing of time may thus couple to time dilation of the spacecraft within other temporal dimensions. After all, the primary time dilation effect would manifest in the one known temporal dimension which would form a base for further time dilation in the other temporal dimensions. Now, in many theoretical scenarios, the Lorentz Transformation Factors (or gamma factors) are likely very small if not almost unitary in terms of the additional temporal dimensions which have not yet been observed. However, as the gamma factor of the spacecraft in the known time dimension becomes exceedingly large, then the bleed over effect of time dilation in the known temporal dimension becomes likely much more significant and greater in the other temporal dimensions. The bleed over coupling function even if constant, may result in a much higher gamma factor in the alternative time dimensions if for no other reason than when the coupling function is multiplied by a greatly increased ordinary gamma factor such as associated with the known temporal dimension, the product naturally increases linearly with increase in ordinary gamma. At truly near infinite gamma factors, the distinction of the order of causality and the meaning of the difference between before and after may become blurred. So, perhaps the separation of gamma factors is reduced as precisely light speed is approached.
