Real-​​Life Hyperspace Drive?

Are you ready to make the jump to hyper­space? A con­tro­ver­sial paper, out­ling a “motor [that] would pro­pel a craft through another dimen­sion at enor­mous speeds” is mak­ing waves in mil­i­tary and sci­en­tific cir­cles, New Scientist reports. “It could leave Earth at lunchtime and get to the moon in time for din­ner. There’s just one catch: the idea relies on an obscure and largely unrecog­nised kind of physics.“
Falcon_01Hspace.jpgThe Scotsman notes that…

The the­o­ret­i­cal engine works by cre­at­ing an intense mag­netic field that, accord­ing to ideas first devel­oped by the late sci­en­tist Burkhard Heim in the 1950s, would pro­duce a grav­i­ta­tional field and result in thrust for a space­craft.“
Also, if a large enough mag­netic field was cre­ated, the craft would slip into a dif­fer­ent dimen­sion, where the speed of light is faster, allow­ing incred­i­ble speeds to be reached. Switching off the mag­netic field would result in the engine reap­pear­ing in our cur­rent dimen­sion.
Professor Jochem Hauser, one of the sci­en­tists who put for­ward the idea, told The Scotsman that… “NASA have con­tacted me and next week I’m going to see some­one from the [US] air force to talk about it fur­ther, but it is at a very early stage. I think the best-​​case sce­nario would be within the next five years [to build a test device] if the tech­nol­ogy works.”

Sandia National Laboratories, in New Mexico, “runs an X-​​ray gen­er­a­tor known as the Z machine” which might be able to test some of the basic sci­ence behind Hauser’s the­o­ries, New Scientist observes.

For now, though, [Sandia space sci­en­tist Roger] Lenard con­sid­ers the the­ory too shaky to jus­tify the use of the Z machine. “I would be very inter­ested in get­ting Sandia inter­ested if we could get a more per­spi­ca­cious intro­duc­tion to the math­e­mat­ics behind the pro­posed exper­i­ment,” he says. “Even if the results are neg­a­tive, that, in my mind, is a suc­cess­ful experiment.”

    This research really exist and still on going? That is amaz­ing dis­cov­ery. So, there is a lot of research and exper­i­ments hap­pen­ing out there. Just great.

    Vietnam lies on the east­ern seaboard of the Indochinese penin­sula. It bor­ders Chine in the north. Laos and Cambodia in the west, and looks out on the East Sea (??????) in the east and south.
