Defense Intelligence Reference Document Negative Mass Propulsion

Defense Intelligence Agency · 43 pages · text from the file's own layer

This Defense Intelligence Reference Document from the Defense Intelligence Agency is dated 3 January 2011. It was produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program as part of a series of advanced technology reports. The report asks whether negative mass exists and whether it could be used for propulsion. It concludes that one route might be an ultra-light form of matter that could have gathered at the Moon's center. Reaching it would take a tunnel dug with thermonuclear shape charges.

Inserting into (34) the average mass density of the universe, R becomes the radius of
the universe. The negative gravitational mass of the universe there shields its positive
mass.
4. The Theory of Bondi Revisited
We are now in a position to revisit the theory by Bondi. In his treatment of the positive-
negative-mass dipole two body problem, he did not take into account the gravitational
field of this configuration. According to (27) the gravitational potential of a point mass
remains the same as in Newton's theory. This means that the gravitational potential
interaction energy for two positive equal masses,

In the theory of Bondi this positive field mass must be added to the positive mass,
resulting in a mass pole-dipole, which is a mass pole with a superimposed mass dipole.
As we will see in the next section this fact has very important consequences [4].
5. The Zitterbewegung Phenomenon as a Manifestation of
Negative Masses
There is no fundamental physical principle standing in the way which forbids the
existence of negative masses. If this is true, the question is: Where are these negative
masses? The recently noticed large bubbles or voids observed in intergalactic space
could possibly be explained by the repulsive force of negative masses assumed to
occupy the voids, but alternative, less exotic, explanations have been offered as well.
However, there is at least one fundamental phenomenon which strongly speaks for the
