This thread may seem unrelated to energy but in the same way reactionless drives are contemplated with respect to Casimir cavities these legends may have a kernel of truth. There is no moving linear differential motion of gas atoms like the reactionless drive theories but there are trapped ambient gases that I suspect become agitated via acoustic sources -singing, musical devices or striking stones with a vibrating rod That would allow an elevated pyramid block to be scooted a couple bow lengths or Easter island megaliths to be positioned where we see them today(Coral castle might have been magnetic agitation but still a calcium based stone). This wild speculation would support a 4D perspective of time where the vacuum fluctuations inside the calcium Casimir cavities allow the ambient gas to turn "fat" on the time axis and even more so where large molecules are concerned. These "temporally fat" molecules might stick out like needles in a pincushion suddenly turned sideways snagging the temporal walls of the future and past like hanging curtains. My ideas of time extends the coffee cup analogy of professor Ron Mallet who is currently trying to build a time machine based on lasers and coiled fibe. If the "present" represents a sufficiently small temporal component then it may be possible to exploit the boundary by forcing divergent inertial frames to occur inside one another.
My time perspective: My interpretation of 4D Space-time is from a future perspective on the time axis looking down on the zero intersect with the 3D spatial axis called the "present". This narrow time interval is only measurable differentially since our time perception is based on relative motion between the fabric of time though space. We can only measure accumulated time dilation measured between different inertial frames such as the twin paradox. C and Bohr radius always appear constant within our inertial frame. At an atomic level a temporal perspective would show orbitals forming halos of different radii while the vortii extending down to the nucleii gets deeper or more shallow depending on acceleration. This is much like the coffee analogy of Ron Mallet, the faster Ron stirs his coffee the more the radius of the frothy center contracts but the vortex also extends further down into the coffee a proportional amount. Ron suggests we can only see the coffee surface in our 3D world. I am suggesting the radius of the frothy center represents the Bohr radius and always appears unchanged just like C appears constant from within any inertial frames. The swirling vortex going down into the coffee gets longer as the radius contracts to keep the volume constant. I propose our time perception inside the "Present" is based on this constant volume making it impossible for us to sense changes in relative motion of spatial dimensions through time . The Present time frame has a narrow temporal dimension that varies with acceleration. This narrow dimesion will always remain negligible with respect to the spatial dimensions from our perspective because our time perception is inherently scaled by the volume of space moving through time. From the future perspective the Present time frame would appear like a narrow ribbon that gets wider or narrower with acceleration and flattens the material universe down to an atomic plane where all mater is accessible from the time axis. >From this perspective all matter, even that which we consider encased inside other matter lies flat on a spatial axis with an unimpeded time axis above and below it. Our 3D illusion of reality is much like an electron gun tracing out a 2d image on a TV screen. From this perspective we exist in an extremely narrow ribbon at the intersect of Future and Past. A single time frame provides a vast quadric volume built upon the cubic volume of 3D space. The electrons are forever trailing behind the nucleus like the tail of a stretchable arrow with the nucleus at its tip sinking into the future with their orbital energy constantly restored by virtual particles winking into and out of existence as postulated by Puthoff in [1] "Ground state of hydrogen as a zero-point-fluctuation-determined state". My suggestion is these virtual particles are traveling through the present from the time axis keeping the orbital "open" as they squeeze through our spatial dimension. Regards Fran
