In the paper “Emerging Physics for Novel Field Propulsion Science”, Drs. Jachem Hauser and co-author Walter Dröscher have published the most comprehensive paper to date on EHT-based gravity field propulsion. Presented at the SPESIF conference – a gathering of aerospace and propulsion engineers – Hauser incorporates supportive experimental results from Dr. Martin Tajmar’s (section co-chair) studies and positions EHT (Expanded Heim Theory) as the basis for a new technological domain making possible fuel-less propulsion with present day technology.

The paper begins with a review of advanced concepts in space propulsion that have been around for decades but which have made no significant progress in achievement. It then turns to the ESA studies conducted by Tajmar et al. who measured a frame-dragging effect (a gravitomagnetic effect predicted by general relativity) in his laboratory 18 orders of magnitude higher than predicted by GR. The gravitomagnetic force measured was as if the instruments were positioned on the surface of a white dwarf star.

EHT postulates that since this effect occurs only at cryogenic temperatures that a phase change takes place leading to novel particles. These “virtual particles are identified as imaginary mass electron pairs… producing a final force that is gravity-like.” The paper argues that unlike Tajmar’s experimental configuration which produced an azimuthal force, a device in which the gravitoelectric field is directed along the axis of rotation could be constructed generating a gravitomagnetic force capable of “lifting a sizable mass from the surface of the Earth” using currently available technology.

EHT argues that classical physics is incomplete in that it has failed to predict two additional fundamental force fields that are gravity-like and long-range in their effects. These gravity-like fields are acceleration fields that may be both attractive and repulsive. Along with Newtonian gravitation this results in a set of three gravitational fields coupling electromagnetism with gravitation and providing a basis not only for propulsion but for predicting both dark energy and dark matter.

EHT is based upon a geometrical model combining external spacetime (Minkowski metric of R4) encompassing all physical events and internal space (Heim space or H8) with its eight dimensions encompassing physical interactions and matter with the smallest discrete unit of space being the metron, a unit similarly defined by proponents of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG).

Physical manifestations of geometry within H8 are represented by subgroups, each describing a Hermetry form representing particles and interactions. These particles may be “virtual particles of imaginary mass” describing transitory states during symmetry breaking achieved at cryogenic temperatures. Thus particles may exist as either ordinary matter or non-ordinary matter, but in concert uphold conservation principles of momentum and energy.

The paper further describes in detail the polymetric tensor and double coordinate transformation in a manner foreseen by Einstein through the geometrical properties of spacetime. The GR mono-metric transforms curvilinear coordinates to Euclidian coordinates to describe Newtonian gravitation. Heim space represents an interim transformation analogous (albiet roughly) to interim states of a chemical reaction. Therefore Heim space complements GR. If Heim space did not exist, its polymetric tensor would simply collapse mathematically to the mono-metric of GR.

By extracting terms, the complete polymetric tensor with 64 terms is eventually reduced to 15 different Hermetry forms which include six fundamental forces of nature including gravitation and two gravity-like forces.

EHT contrasts starkly with elementary particle physics. In the standard model particles possess their own existence. In EHT the existence of particles are a consequence of the geometry of internal space. Internal space (H8) comprises four subspaces denoted R3 and T1 (the dimensions recognized by GR), S2 and I2. In physical terms, R3 subspace coordinates are responsible for the existence of mass, S2 for the formation of organizational structures (neg-entropy), I2 for information structures (entropy) and T1 for the existence of charges.

Though not referenced in this paper, similarities to the key role of organizational structures and information structures for determining entropy have been reflected in 2009 presentations by Erik Verlinde who suggested that gravity as an entropic emergent force from spacetime. This view that the universe is an information structure is also supported by the holographic principle.

Paper AIAA 2012-3915, 23 pp. On the Reality of Gravity-Like Fields

Prof. J. Hauser presented the peer reviewed paper entitled On the Reality Gravity-Like Fields at the 48th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit, 29 July – 1 August 2012, Atlanta, GA, published by the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics. The [6 page] abstract and the introduction of the paper can be downloaded here. The complete paper can be ordered from AIAA (use aiaa.org website).

Any breakthrough in propulsion or energy generation, in order to become a real game changer, needs to be functioning without fuel. This insight is not new, and was already discussed in the book on space propulsion by Corliss, 1960, termed field propulsion, and was actively researched in industry and academia at that time, however, without success.

At present NASA no longer has a manned spaceflight program, but there is a group of adventurous space entrepreneurs who have a keen vision of technology, and, having founded their own companies, are determined to bring man into space at relatively low cost. The only technology currently available results from the physics of classical momentum conservation, as expressed by Tsiolkovsky’s rocket equation of 1904, that cannot be overcome by technical refinement.

In order to succeed, the space entrepreneurs need to complement their vision of technology with the appropriate vision of science. A novel physical principle for spaceflight as well as energy generation is needed first, then everything else will fall into place, i.e. the proper technology will follow from this principle. The technology must be feasible, which means that no unrealistic concepts like antimatter, negative energy (wormholes), or spacetime warping etc. should be involved.

What could this new physical principle be? Evidently, it has to do with both gravitation and spacetime. This paper therefore discusses the reality of the existence of novel gravity-like fields, not being produced by large static or moving masses. Both experimental and theoretical concepts are presented. To this end, a set of recent eleven experiments was identified that, in some way or another, contradict established physical theories. In addition, the basic concepts of a theoretical approach are presented, termed Extended Heim Theory (EHT), that predicts six fundamental forces, three of them of gravitational origin, including the existence of an interaction between electromagnetism and gravitation.

Prof. J. Hauser has made available on his site a comprehensive lecture series on the
”Introduction to the Physics of Gravity-like Fields” which contains a set of 120 color slides. It is available here 
in pdf format and may be purchased at a price of $ 40 or 35 Euros.

As mentioned on July 14 in this blog, on June 19 of this year, Prof. J. Hauser gave an invited lecture at the Technical Univ. of Braunschweig entitled, “Emerging Physics of Space Propulsion and Energy Generation.” A shortened version of his presentation materials can be downloaded for free here.

In the Braunschweig slide materials Prof. Hauser thanks me for a copy of my March 2011 book Gravity 2.0. Actually it is I who should be thanking Prof. Hauser (and did so in my book’s dedication) for his participation in reviewing my book for accuracy, as did Prof. M. Tajmar.

In the aforementioned slides Prof. Hauser refers to me as Professor Gregory Daigle, University of Minnesota. Just for the record, I am currently adjunct faculty in the College of Design at the University of Minnesota, but was formerly an Associate Professor at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Hence the design focus of my book.

This evening Dr. Hauser gave his talk at the AIAA (The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) 48th Joint Propulsion Conference & Exhibit in Atlanta. The AIAA is the world’s largest technical society dedicated to the global aerospace profession.

Dr. Hauser’s topic for presentation was his new paper, “On the Reality of Gravity-Like Fields”, which continues his work and that of Dr. Droescher on Extended Heim Theory. This particular presentation made a bold effort to explain how EHT can be a theoretical model for MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) by employing EHT’s prediction of 2 additional fundamental interactions related to gravitation.

He begins by reviewing a set of eleven experiments and/or astrophysical observations. He believes they clearly provide substantial evidence for novel physical concepts to exist that are outside relativity and which require novel types of fields beyond the standard model. He also provides a critique of Dr. Tajmar’s most recent experimental studies that produced null results, saying that the difficulty seems to be with the noise level of the gyroscope and lack of maintaining a sufficiently low ambient temperature field rather than the non-existence of gravitomagnetic fields.

This non-mathematical paper describes how gravitophotons and quintessence particles and their antiparticles can account for the presence of dark matter in the galactic halo and the measurement known as “MOND acceleration.” By solving for the gravitational accelerations for visible and dark matter inside a galaxy (which are shown to be different), Dr. Hauser obtains the formula for the well known MOND relation and from it derives the correct equation for the orbital speed of stars at a distance large enough from the center of the galaxy.

MOND predictions of galaxy rotation have been the most accurate, producing results notably more accurate than models of dark matter. Lee Smolin and co-workers have tried unsuccessfully to obtain a theoretical basis for MOND from quantum gravity. Smolin’s conclusion is “MOND is a tantalizing mystery, but not one that can be resolved now.” That may change with this presentation by Dr. Hauser.

This breakthrough provides a theoretical basis for the well known observations of dark matter and dark energy that defy standard interpretations of GR and SR, and explains them through interactions of new particles predicted by EHT and the poly-metric tensor approach originally conceived in the 1950s by Burkhard Heim. A more quantitative paper would solidify the propositions in this new direction and we hope that such a paper is already in the works.

This new direction for EHT can not be emphasized enough. EHT now describes a common underlying basis for both the smallest scale interactions of subatomic particles and predictions for the largest scale interactions of dark energy and dark matter on a universe-wide scale.

Dr. Hauser concludes with the prediction of gravity-like fields that might be generated in the laboratory and may serve as the physical basis for establishing a completely novel technology field, termed gravitational engineering. And by inference, “gravity design”, the design discipline described in my book.
