Theory of relativity and space travel

Theory of relativity and space travel

The fish-example 

Einstein's theory of relativity is one of the most interesting and remarkable theories in history. And there is one connection to the example of the flowing river. That thing is that if the fish would swim against the flowing water with very big power, would it face the flowing water with faster speed than in the places, where water is standing still.

So if the speed of the fish is 20 kilometers per hour and the water would flow against it with the speed of 20 kilometers per hour, the impact speed with water is 40 kilometers in an hour. The example is taken from the examine, where the impact speed of the cars is asked when they are hitting against together while both of them have a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. That means that the impact speed is the addition, where the speeds of both particles are sum together.

Ability to travel faster than the light

When we are thinking about the first paragraph, we might ask, what would that thing do with the space traveling and the interstellar spaceflights. In fact, there is a possibility to create the spacecraft, what would cross the cosmic speed limit, what is called as the speed of the light. In this system would the ions pull towards the spacecraft with very powerful magnets.

Those magnets would create the impact area, where the impact speed of the spacecraft would be higher than the speed of light. And maybe that kind of things could make the hyperdrive possible, and in the future, we could use this version of the hyperdrive in the distant future for traveling between the stars.

In this case, the rockets what use antimatter as fuel would accelerate the spacecraft to the speed, what is about the 50-90% of the speed of the light. And then the system can pull the ions to the accelerator channel, what would accelerate them to the speed of light. If the particle accelerator would suck the particles in the accelerator channel by the speed of the light, or something like 80% of the speed of the light, would the impact speed of the spacecraft and the particles about 1,5 times of the speed of the light.

In that point, the spacecraft would fly faster than the speed of light. The reason for that is that slowing the mass cannot slow by unlimited speed and the thing causes that the spacecraft would travel faster than light in the short moment because the speed of the light is slower in water than in the air. And then when the electron is hitting to the water, would that cause the thing, what is called the "border layer crossing".

This phenomenon is visible in the neutrino detectors, where the electron is hitting in the water pool, and that thing causes the blue light shock-wave. This means that the speed of the electron crosses the speed of the light in a very short time period. And when the electron is slowing, it must release its energy, what is seen as the blue light shock wave.

Could this be the hyperdrive?

The idea is that the particle pulling is turned off, and maybe the spacecraft would jump forward with the speed, what is higher than the speed of the light.  The idea is similar when the fish what would travel upwards to the river in 20 kilometers per hour because it must fight against the flowing water, and then the fish would face the stream pool, and suddenly it's speed would increase to very high.

In this hypothetical case, the starship would pull the particles against it, and the impact speed with those particles would be something like 1,5 times the speed of the light, and then the particle accelerator would shut down. By using this technology, the hypothetical spacecraft would jump forward like rabbit of the fish in the example. So that can be one version of the hyperdrive.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som
