Negative Mass Propulsion
Summary
It is easy to prove that there are negative masses all around us, albeit
hidden behind positive masses. But their use for propulsion by reducing the
inertia of matter, for example in the limit of macroscopic bodies with zero rest
mass, depends on a technical solution to free them from their imprisonment by
positive masses. It appears that there are basically two ways this might be
achieved: 1. By the application of strong electromagnetic or gravitational
fields or by high particle energies; 2. By searching for places in the universe
where nature has already done this separation, and from which the negative
masses can be mined.
The first of these two possibilities is for all practical means excluded,
because if possible at all, it would depend on electromagnetic or gravitational
fields with strengths beyond what is technically attainable, or on extremely
large particle energies likewise not attainable.
With regard to the 2nd possibility, it has been observed that non­
baryonic cold dark matter tends to accumulate near the center of galaxies, or
places in the universe which have a large gravitational potential well. Because
of the equivalence principle of general relativity, the attraction towards the
center of a gravitational potential well, produced by a positive mass, is for
negative masses the same as for positive masses. Large amounts of negative
masses might have over billions of years been trapped in these gravitational
potential wells.
Now it just happens that the center of the moon is a potential well, not
too deep that it cannot be reached by making a tunnel through the moon, not
possible for the deeper potential well of the earth, where the temperature and
pressure are too high. Making a tunnel through the moon, provided there is a
good supply of negative mass, could revolutionize interstellar space flight. A
sequence of thermonuclear shape charges would be required to make such a
tunnel technically feasible.
