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.

With solid bodies held together by electromagnetic forces, clocks made from solid matter should behave like light clocks. As it was claimed by Poincare, it should for this reason be possible to obtain the Lorentz transformations solely from the contraction effect with a proper convention about the synchronization of clocks. According to Einstein, two clocks, A and B, are synchronized if 20 UNCLASSIFIED/ /P&tl err1e1111t ~:!I! 8HLY
