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.

This implies a uniform contraction of the body by the factor ,Jt -v 2 / c 2 because the sources a re contracted by the factor J1 -v 2 / c 2 as well, whereby the right-hand side of (63) becomes equal to the right-hand side of (60). Since the zero-point energy is invariant under a Lorentz transformation, the quantum potential changes in the same way as © . The body therefore sustains its static equilibrium under a contraction by the factor .jI-v2/c 2 if set into absolute motion, explaining the Lorentz contraction dynamically. The clock retardation effect can be derived from the contraction effect, and from there the Lorentz transformation. Following Builder [9] this original interpretation of Lorentz invariance by Lorentz and Poincare has been worked out in every detail by Prokhovnik [10]. To derive the clock retardation effect from the contraction effect one considers a light clock, which is a rod with mirrors attached to its two ends in between which a light signal is sent forth and back. If the length of the rod is /, and if the rod rests in the distinguished reference system, the time needed for the light signal to be sent forth and back is 19 UNCLASSIFIED/ ,"FUR bi FIEitltt ~!H! 8HLY
