Actually, the whole 'warp' thing is a side effect of his original theory. During the 50's Heim began working on reconciling relativity and quantum mechanics. In order to do so he came up with an 8-dimensional universe, but later discarded 2 of the dimensions (Droescher reinstated those 2 dropped dimensions in an expansion of the theory).
Not only does his theory and the equations coming from it predict a possible warp drive, but also the possibility of hyper-dimensional travel (FTL?) He never managed the funding to test the theory, but he did have a portion published which accurately predicts the masses of elementary particles based on their physical characteristics (which no one else has been able to do) They have the equations to back it, now if they can get their experiment to work, we might really have something. --- Wesley Bruce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > I came across this while searching for six > dimensional theories: > > > > > http://www.newscientist.com/channel/fundamentals/mg18925331.200.html > > > > excerpt: > > > > Claims of the possibility of "gravity reduction" > or "anti-gravity" > > induced by magnetic fields have been investigated > by NASA before (New > > Scientist, 12 January 2002, p 24).
