Will this work for llight speed travel
OK, OK, l could not get even close to any help on my previous question, so
l will explain my theory (and for the smart guy that states that without
math, it is not a theory, look up the word in a dictionary!) My
'concept' (there l took the word theory out) is similar to carrier waves
and harmonics. We already have used the idea of 'piggybacking'
signals one upon another.secondarily, light waves, much in te same way
that sound waves do, can generate harmonic and sympathetic vibrations.Think of it as a guitar being tuned.When one string is played and the other is being tuned to it, there comes a third vibration as the two are very close, but not, at the same frequency This third sound is much stronger than the two individual sounds that combine to create it. My FTL sustem would consist of a large tube, with coils that can produce and electromagnetic pulse to ''ride'' this harmonic/sympathetic wave. l call it the 'light grapple'. and the theory has been used with sound waves. Light exists in our physical universe.this is not in doubt.and l understand that sound exists, but only in the medium of a partculate medium.Lights much greater energy would be the propulsion and the 'light grapple' would not propel, but rather, just hold on to the light, but unlike solar sails, it is active and can be adjusted to separate of filter lightwaves through its ow electromagnetic fields allowing only close but not identical wavelengths from opposing stars.this permits the ship to 'surf' th harmonic in either directionand allows it to be tuned for greater or lesser velocity and therefore, great speads are possible. My assertion of 170% of light speed is loosely based on my rough calculations about the variability of light speeds (depending on frequency) and the possibity of current computer processing speeds(allowing for analysing incoming waves and adjusting the ship is own harmonic.l seriously doubt the ship sould ever reach 2.0 light as the ships processors would epidavros, Are you aware that light has been stopped in labratory experiments? the ship harnesses the actual light and makes a barrier of electromagnetic energy.the light then pushes the ship (unlike solar sails that count on the theory of light 'particles') the way the speed of light could be surpassed is that after one reaches the speed of light (finally flowing with the light at its own velocity) the electromagnetic barrier is modulated to now push, instead of just catch the light energy.this will give light + speeds AT this point in time, w3e have been able to convert practically every form of energy into propulsion.l doubt that light energy will prove to be any different Currently man can stop light, bend light and even make it run in circles with electromagnetics.but that is a minuts amount and it is done with small amounts of electric energy. i see no reason that if we had enough energy ( a nuclear reactor dedicated to this one purpose) and the ship was the movable object, that the barrier created (the same one that currently exists to stop light in laboratories) would cause the ships propulsion. IF and when it happens, l am sure that l will be long dead!
The question is how to get the mass of ur space ship to
interact with the electromagnetic waves to produce a net force in the
direction you intend to go. That force needs to accelerate ur ship.
There are much more efficient ways to use energy for acceleration than
generating electromagnetic radiation in one place & trying to harness that
radiation in another.
The closest thing I know about to what you describe is called a solar sail. An object close enough to a star to receive significant solar & gamma radiation does receive a push on whatever surface is exposed to that radiation. It is useful only if you can use that tiny push for a long, long time.
it sound scientific
WWWhoaaa,how do i stop this thing!!!!!
Excellent, that is very much nice. You have to produce much
energy to throw a object with mass 'm' to make it move in light speed. I'd
be glad to know about you and share, discuss about your this system. let me
know about you and your system more. You will find my contact information
in my personal page addressed below.
that sounds cool, but my theory is that since it is projected
that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, you would need a
force greater than light to travel at the speed of light. I even worked
out an explanation of why it wouldn't work in my theory, I will look for
the paper & type it down. I wrote this in math class.
Theoretically, for an object to travel at the speed of light, it must have the same or lesser mass than light. for example, say a space shuttle weighs 100 tons. it is propellant is expelled at the speed of light, & it is force is x. the force remaining after moving the space shuttle is x-100 tons, & since it is thought to be impossible to travel faster than light, the space shuttle is propellant cannot travel faster than light. (I left out the last part, because it was disproven by deeper thought.) (C) Copyright 2006 by Paul Burke.

The sound you hear with two string is due to beats forming.
The two underlying waves are still there, but they interact to form a wave
group that modulates at a characteristic frequency that is the different of
the two string frequencies.
Exactly the same thing happens with light, & it is how radar speed traps work. The group of beats will propagate with a velocity called the group velocity which is not the same as the usual ''speed of light'' or ''speed of sound'' - the phase velocity. Generally thr group velocity is lower than the phase velocity. But experiments have been done that contrive to get the group velocity of light to exceed the phase velocity - ie exceed the speed of light. However, this does not mean anything is travelling faster than light - the wave front can only travel at the phase velocity. Your pulse tube - if it worked at all - would only work for radio waves, & would likely produce an effect called a soliton. This is a single wave packet that travels with a group velocity that is normally much lower than the phase velocity. ------ In case you are not listening to the given, & to be clear, NO ur idea would not work. It is not founded in even the most basic understanding of physics.
I think this is a concept that scientists have been fooling
around with for a few years now, because it does sound familiar to me.
I dont know what they called it though, so i cant refer you to some web
site about it.
Personally, i think the energy required to create those waves would make it impractical. But this isnt my strong point, since this area of science doesnt greatly interest me.
No, you get a different frequency, but the propagating velocity
would still be c.
This technique is used in a variety of areas involving electro-magnetic
radiation. Including heterodyne receivers (your car radio) and Coherent
anti-Raman Stokes Spectroscopy (CARS) among others.
how much education do you have? That certainly is a great
hypothesis. I'd like to see some experiments, some data, SOME MATH
PERHAPS? Are you writing a dissertation on this?
Wow. No clue what you are talking about, but sounds pretty
cool. Fire it up.
