WAVES OF LIGHT

Ordinary light energy density iszero or positive when not insqueezed state

Light at some points hasnegative energy density whenin squeezed state

More negative energy at onepoint more positive energy at

another point if in squeezedstate

Any scheme for faster thanlight travel requires negativeenergy

NEGATIVE ENERGY

Negative energy is not antimatter

Antimatter still has positive energy

Antimatter releases gamma rays when positron andelectrons collide

Negative energy is hard to keep for long periods of time

Laws of physics limit negative energys capacity

Laws also limit the amount that can be produced

Making the possibility of wormholes and warp drive veryimprobable

THE CASIMIR EFFECT

Vacuum: it is not empty; it is filledwith fluctuating electromagneticwaves. These waves are alwayspresent

these waves can be any sizewavelength

the existence of these wavesproves that there is energy inempty space

we cannot use this energy

Some waves will fit between the twomirrors and will bounce between thetwo

As the attraction increases and themirrors move closer together, thelonger waves wont fit

The energy between the mirrors

will decrease as they get closer It will be less than the energy

around the mirrors

Examples:

A rubber band stretched hasmore energy than when it isrelaxed

A spring stretched has moreenergy than when it comesback together

What is it? It is the affect that happens when twomirrors are placed in front of each other in a vacuum.The effect is attraction.

CASIMIR EFFECT

The waves are

trying to squeeze in

between the plates

The more they aresqueezed, the more

negative energy is

created But also more

positive energy

HEISENBERG'S UNCERTAINTYPRINCIPLE

Virtual particles popping in and out of the quantumvacuum

Detected when there is a rise in radiation in a

vacuum If one can reduce virtual particles theres less

energy in the vacuum

Virtual particles come at random so negative

energy is hard to come by using this method

HAWKING RADIATION

H. radiation causessubatomic black holesto evaporate

Black holes must radiateenergy in order toabide the law ofconservation of energy

WORMHOLES-EINSTEIN - ROSEN BRIDGE

(APPLE ANALOGY)

The universe is the SKIN ofthe apple, and the WORMtravels over its surface. The

distance from one side ofthe apple to the other isEQUAL to half the applescircumference, but if itburrows through the applethe distance traveled is lessmaking the hole burrowedby the WORM a shortcut.

WORMHOLES DONT DEFY PHYSICS

Einstein's general theory allows for the existence ofwormholes since it states that any mass curvesspace-time

WORMHOLES

Opening of worm hole calledmouth; looks spherical

Middle of worm hole is called

the throat; area filled withnegative energy

Negative energy maintainsopen and passable

Wormholes are short cuts intime, connecting tootherwise distant locations

WORMHOLES CONTINUED

Schwarzschild wormhole

unstable

impassable

S. wormhole closes too

quickly for even aphoton (smallest unit oflight that can bemeasured) to getthrough

Negative energycounter acts thegravitational force ofspace-time thatscausing the wormholeto close making it atraversable wormhole

WARP DRIVE

Still a theory; it is still notpossible

Warp drive is a way ofmanipulating space-time

To manipulate space you

need negative energy

It is a way of going

faster than the speedof light Half speed of light is

150,000 km/sec or

33,534,000 mph

Einsteins general

relativity equation

Left-hand side = Right-hand

Energy)

Accelerating with so much force will tearour bodies apart

Our bodies can not withstand a forcegreater than 3G

It would take many months to possibly beable to reach that speed if done(accelerated) in a matter that our bodiescan withstand

FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT

(WARP SPEED)

ALCUBIERRE DRIVE

Hypothetical Not breaking the laws of

Physics Using enough energy to

contract space while fabric

behind you is stretched Perceived as movement by

passengers on spaceshipbut lack of acceleration

Depending on the stretch ofspace-time and contraction

will dictate the speed atwhich the spaceship travels Amount of energy needed

would be equal to the massof Jupiter in order to move aadequately sized spaceship
