Defense Intelligence Reference Document Traversible Wormholes Stargates And Negative Energy

Defense Intelligence Agency · 42 pages · text from the file's own layer

This Defense Intelligence Reference Document (DIA-08-1004-004), dated 6 April 2010, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency under its Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program. It is one of a series of advanced technology reports from FY 2009. It reviews the general relativity physics of traversable wormholes and flat-faced "stargate" solutions for faster-than-light travel. It also covers the exotic negative energy these would need, proposed lab methods for generating it such as the Casimir effect and squeezed vacuum, and the constraints involved.
