The Inability of the White-Juday Warp Field Interferometer to Spectrally Resolve Spacetime Distortions (original) (raw)
2014, arXiv: General Physics
This paper contends that the spacetime distortions resulting from the experimentally obtainable electric field of a parallel plate capacitor configuration cannot be detected by the White-Juday Warp Field Interferometer [1]. Any post-processing results indicating a vanishing, non-zero difference between the charged and uncharged states of the capacitor are due to local effects rather than spacetime perturbations.

This paper will begin with a short review of the Alcubierre warp drive metric and describes how the phenomenon might work based on the original paper. The canonical form of the metric was developed and published in [6] which provided key insight into the field potential and boost for the field which remedied a critical paradox in the original Alcubierre concept of operations. A modified concept of operations based on the canonical form of the metric that remedies the paradox is presented and discussed. The idea of a warp drive in higher dimensional space-time (manifold) will then be briefly considered by comparing the null-like geodesics of the Alcubierre metric to the Chung-Freese metric to illustrate the mathematical role of hyperspace coordinates. The net effect of using a warp drive " technology " coupled with conventional propulsion systems on an exploration mission will be discussed using the nomenclature of early mission planning. Finally, an overview of the warp field interferometer test bed being implemented in the Advanced Propulsion Physics Laboratory: Eagleworks (APPL:E) at the Johnson Space Center will be detailed. While warp field mechanics has not had a " Chicago Pile " moment, the tools necessary to detect a modest instance of the phenomenon are near at hand.

Crucial test of relativity theory: open currents and magnetic model of light
2007
Fundamental tests of special theory of relativity (STR) are revised. Among crucial tests of the Faraday law we consider the experiment with a nonshielded Trouton-Noble capacitor and the nonconservation of mechanical angular momentum of an isolated charged system. As a new crucial tests of Faraday’s law for open currents, the induction on a coil moving with respect to a static electric charge is outlined. The magnetic model of light propagation in moving media is considered. According to this model the phase velocity of the light wave is affected by the flow but the momentum of particles (photons) is not. Thus, the Fizeau experiment does not corroborate the addition of velocities of STR. A non-interferometric experiment of the Fizeau type represents a crucial test of the magnetic model and of the speed of photons in moving media.
