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.

'= <1) and di:1 = dx✓ I -v 2 / c 2 . 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
