APEC 6/26: Part#5 – Matthew Szydagis – Dark Matter, Energy & Propulsion
https://www.americanantigravity.com – One of the most enduring scientific mysteries of the 20th-21st centuries is the missing ~95% of the mass-energy content of the Universe, in the forms of dark matter and dark energy, the former binding galaxies together with additional gravity, the latter exuding an anti-gravitational-like effect that accelerates cosmic expansion.
The different models for dark matter will be reviewed such as Supersymmetry and extra dimensions, as well as the quantum zero-point energy and chameleon particle explanations for dark energy. Modified-gravity theories, very common in propulsion ideas, will also be reviewed, showcasing evidence both against/for them, but concluding dark matter and dark energy are more likely explanations for anomalous observations in astronomy.
Speculation as to how one or both of these mysteries, once properly understood, could be utilized by an advanced civilization to propel an interstellar craft potentially relativistically will be the cornerstone of this talk.
Detlef Hoyer, Matthew Szydagis and Bryan St. Clair are the scheduled presenters at the June 26th conference session. Detlef Hoyer will discuss space travel by reduced effective mass after induced matter theory, Matthew Szydagis will discuss propulsion applications of dark matter & dark energy, and Bryan St. Clair will discuss his work with pulsed inertial engine technology.
