Through the Light Barrier
|
|
by Bob Jones
|
|
|
|
Those who are interested in the prospects of interstellar flight on
|
|
some really meaningful scale find the so-called "light barrier" a
|
|
bitter pill to swallow.
|
|
|
|
According to most physicists, it would not be possible for a ship to
|
|
reach the velocity of light because the closer it got to achieving
|
|
light velocities, the more massive it would become.
|
|
|
|
According to them you would never be able to beat that last
|
|
fraction. The whole thing is based on the proven fact that the
|
|
faster an object travels, the more massive it becomes (due to the
|
|
energy (speed) being converted to matter/mass...Vangard).
|
|
|
|
The proof comes from tests with electrons that are accelerated to
|
|
near light speeds by electrostatic forces.
|
|
|
|
They do indeed BECOME HEAVIER and in just the amount predicted! The
|
|
forces for making these electrons accelerate came from outside,
|
|
however.
|
|
|
|
In the case of a space ship these accelerating forces will come from
|
|
within. Anything that happens to the ship will also happen to the
|
|
reaction mass (all the mass around the ship).
|
|
|
|
As a ship nears the speed of light it will become noticeably MORE
|
|
MASSIVE BUT SO WILL THE FUEL. That means that as the ship is
|
|
becoming more massive the thrust is becoming higher too, since the
|
|
exhaust is more massive (heavier particles due to denser mass from
|
|
the energy to mass conversion)!
|
|
|
|
These two effects will of course occur in direct proportion with the
|
|
acceleration remaining constant DESPITE THE SPEED. We must remember
|
|
that when a factor enters into a problem due to speed we cannot try
|
|
to change this speed from the outside THE SAME as from within.
|
|
|
|
The faster the motion the greater the difference and here there is
|
|
all the difference in the world!
|
|
|
|
For those who are interested, the 1958 Nobel Prize was won by 3
|
|
Russians for discovering that the so-called Cerenkov Radiation moved
|
|
FASTER THAN LIGHT!

Vangard note...
|
|
|
|
We should include the concept of TACHYONS, which are faster-
|
|
than-light particles. Who is to say that ALL MASS cannot be
|
|
accelerated to greater than the speed of light.
|
|
|
|
It follows that a mass moving AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT, as viewed
|
|
from a stationary point would BE PERCEIVED AS LIGHT!
|
|
|
|
It also follows that a mass could be accelerated to the speed of
|
|
light (and beyond), yet REMAIN STATIONARY. What would be the
|
|
effects, depending on the speed, the mass would either radiate
|
|
at a specific color or become invisible as it achieved
|
|
frequencies which are NOT VISIBLE to the human eye.
|
|
|
|
Again we have indications of Philadelphia Experiment type
|
|
possibilities since the reason for that project was to achieve
|
|
practical invisibility. There are arguments that the process
|
|
was intended to acheive RADAR INVISIBILTY and had nothing to do
|
|
with the masking of visible frequencies.
