Overview

The concepts described in this book include some of the following: General Relativity, Special Relativity, Newtonian Classical Electrodynamics, Relativistic Classical Electrodynamics, Solid State Physics, Classical Relativistic Rotational Mechanics, among other aspects of modern physics. Not much is said regarding Quantum-Electro-Dynamics and Quantum-Chromo-Dynamics except what is necessary to clarify and define the issues and problems to be solved. So, if you enjoy classical physics and its applications to manned interstellar travel, you are likely going to really enjoy this book. By reading this brief introduction to the proposed technologies, you will see how complicated the engineering will be to put all the pieces together and design and fly real star ships based on the subject methods of propulsion. However, for me, complication comes with a sense of the whimsical. You will come to realize, if you have not already, that the behavior of intake and reactance particles, bosons and fermions alike, will need to be understood by species-wise, kinetic energy spectrum and momentum spectrum. It is even possible that the intake energies of the particles may need to be analyzed in real time for the space craft at a resolution as fine as micro-electron volts and finer. A slight miscalculation of energy balances and power intake instabilities and the craft may be immediately ionized in a subatomic massive particle and hard gamma ray stew. These Conjectured Relativistic Pin Wheel Pull-Sail Ships Involve Universal Space-Time Expansion Based Thermodynamic Effects And Deviations From Said Radiation Sources From Ideal Black Body Forms (Except The: Non-Relativistic Massive Backgrounds, Moderately Relativistic Massive Backgrounds, Highly Relativistic Massive Backgrounds, And Extremely Relativistic Massive Backgrounds). Also Included Are First Order Algebraic Notation For Propulsion System Efficiencies. Furthermore, Considered Are The Energy Gain Of The Spacecrafts By Virtue Of Near Black Hole Mass Density Pin Wheels (Or Overall Near Black Hole Mass Density Of A Linear Array Of Such Pin Wheels); Or Optionally, An Overall Near Black Hole Mass Density Of A Two Dimensional Array Pin Wheel Sail. First Order Approximations Are Included In The Derived Formulas Where The Degree Of Gravitational Blue-Shifting Of The Incident Radiations With Respect To The Pin Wheel Units Is Considered To Be An Exact Inverse Of Gravitational Redshift Implied By The Schwarzschild Solution To Einstein's Field Equations. Plausible Compound Pin Wheel Units That Approximate A Non-Rotating, Electrically Neutral, Sub-Blackhole Mass, Sphere, Are Considered Where The Units' Overall Reference Frame Rotational Dragging Would Be Virtually Eliminated. Combinations Of Relativistically Rotating Pin Wheels Are Considered As Sub-Units To Pin Wheel Modules Where One, More Than One But Not All, Or All, Of The Sub-Units Closely Approximate A Relativistically Rotating Disk Of Constant Area Density. For Continuous Mass-Energy-Space-Times, The Number Of Distinct Configurations That Can Exactly Simulate The Schwarzschild Solution To Einstein's Field Equations And Also A Perfect Relativistically Rotating Disk Is Conjectured On Philosophical Grounds To Be Infinite. The Number Of Analogous Closely Approximating Configurations For Quantized Mass-Energy-Space-Times For Macroscopic Scale Systems Is Assumed To Be A Very Large Ensemble. The Rotors Are Assumed To Undergo No Strain As They Are Assumed To Be Perfectly Rigid. Also, The Gravitational Self-Attractions Of The Individual Rotors Are Assumed To Cancel Out Any Outward Rotor Stress Thus Minimizing Or Eliminating Stresses That Would Lead To A Kerr Solution To Einstein's Field Equations.

Author Information

I have been a science author and interstellar propulsion researcher for about 5 years now. I became really hooked on the interstellar travel theme after responding to a thread on Paul Gilster's Tau Zero Centauri Dreams website about 5 years ago and received a very warm welcome from Paul. At that time, I knew I was destined to become seriously involved in this exciting field of research. My love of interstellar travel had its genesis in my childhood. Through most of my elementary school age years, I was a shy kid but one who was far from the stereotypical reserved nerdy geek. My grade-school report cards where generally good but where far from the straight A cards that the academically brilliant students would receive. I had a very personal dream, however, that motivated me to get through the often booring school days. This dream is that for an unbounded future of human interstellar space-flight. My infatuation with manned space exploration began early in gradeschool, fueled by the Apollo Space Program and lunar landings and the promise of manned missions to distant planets in the not-so-distant future. It seemed as though by the 1980s, we would definitely be sending humans on Martian exploratory missions. My interest in manned space travel waned a bit during the late 1970s through the mid-1990s, but picked up again after I had read a book on real world potential interstellar travel methods based mainly on known and well established physics. Before embarking on a new career as a free-lance starship propulsion researcher and science writer, I worked as an inventor. With my brother, John, we co-invented and obtained numerous U.S. patents, several dealing with various forms of resource harnessing apparatus. We had filed so many applications which included international filings that we spent ourselves silly on legal services. My brother Mike would often become fustrated with John and I expressing his opinion that we were living in some sort of dream land with so many filings. John and I had some running jokes regarding our contemplation of hanging a large sign from our residence including the words, Patent Depo, or Essig Patent Works right before my brother Mike would visit. With such serious but small scale research and development efforts, I had developed a renewed appreciation for the power of the Sun, and by corollary, the tremendous power of the cosmos including the cosmic energy source of nuclear fusion, the power that literally runs the stars.
