Interesting. A Google search on Heim yields only one abstract that claims Heim "discovered a proven Unified Field Theory" in 1959 involving 6-manifold space[time] (my limited understanding is that current string theory is proposing at least 10 spacetime dimensions to make it all work) that used "differences instead of differentials" and "selectors instead of tensors". No technical data supplied.
There is a very random webpage which cites certain equations based on Maxwell involving magnetic dipoles, alternating current, and the development of a small (as yet unmeasurable) antigravity field/fundamental particle (a coupling field between magnetic and gravitational fields) that is taken way out of context (e.g. all the surrounding theory where one assumes a coupling constant "b" in: curl g = - b dB/dt whereby b is a coupling constant b=sqrt(epsilon0/alpha) epsilon: vacuum permittivity alpha: permittivity of space to gravity) is missing. But it gives you an idea about this warp engine concept, even if it does nothing to improve my confidence in the feasibility of this type of warp drive. I'd love to believe FTL travel is possible. It would be awesome. -vk -- "We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny, but what we put into it is ours." --Dag Hammersjold "When the rate of change outside an organization exceeds the rate of change inside it, then it is not a matter of if, but when that organization will fail." --Jack Welch "Just keep swimming/just keep swimming/just keep swimming swimming swimming..." --Dorie from Finding Nemo -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Eric Funk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > In case any of you haven't read Slashdot this morning...(I'm going to > > the direct link) > > > > http://news.scotsman.com/scitech.cfm?id=16902006 > > Very nice. > > See the Pseudovelocity drives from the Vehicles Expansion for another take > on this. > > _______________________________________________ > GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> > http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
