PhysOrg.COM reports that, this February 14th, Dr. Franklin Felber will present a new exact solution of Einstein’s Gravitational Field Equation. In plain English, this means that physical objects might travel at a speed near the speed of light after all. This was always deemed impossible by many:
Felber’s antigravity discovery solves the two greatest engineering challenges to space travel near the speed of light: identifying an energy source capable of producing the acceleration; and limiting stresses on humans and equipment during rapid acceleration.
So — if true,
“Dr. Felber’s research will revolutionize space flight mechanics by offering an entirely new way to send spacecraft into flight,” said Dr. Eric Davis, Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin and STAIF peer reviewer of Felber’s work. “His rigorously tested and truly unique thinking has taken us a huge step forward in making near-speed-of-light space travel safe, possible, and much less costly.”
But not as soon as some would like;
“Based on this research, I expect a mission to accelerate a massive payload to a ‘good fraction of light speed’ will be launched before the end of this century,” said Dr. Felber. “These antigravity solutions of Einstein’s theory can change our view of our ability to travel to the far reaches of our universe.”
So thankfully, most of us won’t be around when mankind will start messing up space — and beyond…
