Overview

In this series of volumes, we present yet additional propulsion modes. Now, it is plausible that occasionally, a rogue electromagnetic wave might develop in interstellar and/or intergalactic space which would carry a large volumetric electromagnetic energy density and would travel at the speed of light in vacuu. Accordingly, a spacecraft of Christmas Tree Light-Sail style might harness the energy of the rogue wave regardless of whether the wave was generally incident from the stern or bow direction with respect to the spacecraft. It is also plausible that rough waves comprised of microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, gamma rays, and the like may develop. For space craft on itineraries lasting at least a canonical ensemble of years in the ship frame or also in the background reference frame, such rogue waves are bound to occur. Moreover, even larger waves that are formed from rouge waves are possible and may have amplitudes, volumetric energy densities, and total energies which are much greater than that of the first hierarchy of rogue waves. Additionally, these second hierarchies of rogue waves may combine to form 3rd hierarchies of rogue waves which may in turn combine to form 4th hierarchies of rogue waves and so-on.
