Overview

Some primordial supermassive stars may have had a mass of between 55,000 and 56,000 times that of our Sun. These theoretical beasts may have had a supernova explosive yield of over 10,000 times the energy of a Type Ia supernova. In theory, such stars would have exploded in a huge thermonuclear explosion near the end of their lives leaving no black hole behind. The entire star would thus be annihilated. Moreover, these stars may have had luminosities of 1 billion times that of the Sun and a radius of 300 solar units. In Volume 11, I present specific first order computational scenarios where such stars are used to accelerate spacecraft to almost the speed of light. Although likely relics of an ancient cosmic era and having all gone supernova, it is nonetheless plausible that a sufficiently advanced civilization could filter interstellar or intergalactic gas to fabricate such stars anew and use them as a power source. In this book, I provide numerous computed examples of spacecraft Lorentz factors and centripetal torque for cases where conjectured spacecraft would thrust vector and accelerate around such stars and then disengage to fly off at virtually light-speed.
