Noted physicist Dr. Franklin Felber will present his new exact solution of Einstein\u2019s 90-year-old gravitational field equation to the Space Technology and Applications International Forum (STAIF) in Albuquerque on Febuary 14. <\/p>\n

The solution is the first that accounts for masses moving near the speed of light.\n<\/p>\n

Felber\u2019s solution takes away the equation of needing huge energy sources on board a ship travelling at such huge speeds, instead the ship will draw its energy from \u2018massive star\u2019.<\/p>\n

Felber\u2019s antigravity discovery solves the two greatest engineering challenges to space travel near the speed of light: identifying an energy source capable of producing the acceleration; and limiting stresses on humans and equipment during rapid acceleration.<\/p>\n

\u2018Dr. Felber\u2019s research will revolutionize space flight mechanics by offering an entirely new way to send spacecraft into flight,\u2019 said Dr. Eric Davis, Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin and STAIF peer reviewer of Felber\u2019s work. \u2018His rigorously tested and truly unique thinking has taken us a huge step forward in making near-speed-of-light space travel safe, possible, and much less costly.\u2019<\/font> <\/p>\n

The field equation of Einstein\u2019s General Theory of Relativity has never before been solved to calculate the gravitational field of a mass moving close to the speed of light. Felber\u2019s research shows that any mass moving faster than 57.7 percent of the speed of light will gravitationally repel other masses lying within a narrow \u2018antigravity beam\u2019 in front of it. The closer a mass gets to the speed of light, the stronger its \u2018antigravity beam\u2019 becomes.

Felber\u2019s calculations show how to use the repulsion of a body speeding through space to provide the enormous energy needed to accelerate massive payloads quickly with negligible stress. The new solution of Einstein\u2019s field equation shows that the payload would \u2018fall weightlessly\u2019 in an antigravity beam even as it was accelerated close to the speed of light.
<\/font><\/p>\n

Accelerating a 1-ton payload to 90 percent of the speed of light requires an energy of at least 30 billion tons of TNT. In the \u2018antigravity beam\u2019 of a speeding star, a payload would draw its energy from the antigravity force of the much more massive star. In effect, the payload would be hitching a ride on a star.
<\/font><\/p>\n

\u2018Based on this research, I expect a mission to accelerate a massive payload to a \u2018good fraction of light speed\u2019 will be launched before the end of this century,\u2019 said Dr. Felber. \u2018These antigravity solutions of Einstein\u2019s theory can change our view of our ability to travel to the far reaches of our universe.\u2019
<\/font><\/p>\n

More immediately, Felber\u2019s new solution can be used to test Einstein\u2019s theory of gravity at low cost in a storage-ring laboratory facility by detecting antigravity in the unexplored regime of near-speed-of-light velocities.<\/font><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
