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.

(58) Now (58) turns out to be just the only spectrum that is Lorentz invariant. But the spectrum (58) is also the only one which does not lead to a friction force on a charged particle moving through an electromagnetic spectrum with this frequency dependence. This means that special relativity is a consequence of quantum mechanics, leading to the zero point vacuum energy, and can be interpreted by saying that the zero-point vacuum energy "generates" the Minkowski space-time. 7. Dynamic Interpretation of Lorentz Invariance A cut-off at the Planck frequency generates a distinguished reference system in which the zero-point energy spectrum is isotropic and at rest. In this distinguished reference system, the scalar potential from which the forces are to be derived satisfies the inhomogeneous wave equation: (59) where p(r,t) are the sources of this field. For a body in static equilibrium at rest in the distinguished reference system for which the sources are those of the body itself one has V' ~ --4np(r). (60) If set into absolute motion with the velocity v along x-axis, the coordinates of the reference system at rest with the moving body are obtained by the Galilei transformation: 18 UNCLASSIFIED/ /Pett err1e1111t ~:!I! 9HLY
