Thoughts of the futuristic image. And the "Cherenkov-thruster".

This vision might be true in the distant future. The spacecraft has landed on the planet, which orbits the black hole. Maybe someday far away from this moment, some spacecraft will face this situation. But today that thing is only the imaginational or philosophical visions.

The image of crashlanding near the black hole is causing many types of thoughts in my mind. The question is can this kind of thing be the future of mankind? When we are thinking about the radiation of the black hole there is the possibility that the craft is pushing it outwards by using the x-ray counter radiation. If the jammer system can shoot the radiation back to the environment. 

That thing makes it possible to decrease the radiation stress to the body of the craft. The counter radiation or the photon impacting is the thing that might make the craft even invisible to its environment. If the system uses the photon impact it can deny the reflection. When we are analyzing this image, we must ask what the craft is doing? Is it loading its antimatter batteries by using the radiation of the black hole? Is that plate some kind of antimatter creator? Or is it some kind of radar which mission is to search the minerals from the ground? Or is the craft making the black hole in that plate?

If we are thinking of real interstellar space travel there are many things to solve before that thing can be done even by using the highly advanced multipurpose artificial intelligence. Of course, the craft could be the remote-controlled robot that uses the man-shaped sub robots for its mission. 

The system can use superpositioned and entangled particles for communication. In that system, the other side of the particle pairs is in the laboratory. And other is connected to the central computer of the spacecraft. In that case, the information is traveling like in the stick.

The superpositioned and entangled particle pair is acting like the needle and rod of the old-time LP player. And that thing makes it possible to communicate with distant spacecraft in real-time. But getting the spacecraft to another solar system takes its time. 

The information can travel between Earth and distant craft very fast. But the craft itself travels with very slow speed if we want to compare that thing with the distances in the universe. So can we someday make the spacecraft that travels faster than the speed of light? In some ideas, the quantum field around the spacecraft is removed. Or the quantum field at the front of the engine nozzle is removed. And the rocket shoots the high-energetic particle radiation through that area. 

The simplified diagram of "Cherenkov-thruster"

The simplified model of Cherenkov thruster.

1) Area where the quantum fields are removed

2) Particle flow

3) Areas where quantum fields are affecting. 

When the high-energetic particles are traveling in the vacuum where the quantum fields are not affecting they are traveling faster than the speed of light. When those particles hit the quantum field they are delivering their kinetic energy as the blue light flash. 

The second quantum layer can be the membrane that is made by using water molecules. That is positioned at the edge of the nozzle by using powerful magnets. But this type of thing is far in the future. 

The "Cherenkov-thuster"

Cherenkov-engine is the hybrid system that shoots high-energetic particles through the area where the quantum fields are removed. When those particles would hit the quantum field that thing would send the blue light flash. So there is the possibility that in the future. This kind of boosted photon rocket will send some kind of craft to other solar systems. 

In some visions in the engine chamber is created the black hole. That black hole shoots its radiation through the area where the quantum fields and scattering effects are removed. The problem is how to make that in practice. But maybe that problem will solve in the future. 

When the system shoots the radiation through that area. And it faces the point where the quantum fields are starting to affect it sends the photon or blue light flash. 

That kind of system can be called as "Cherenkov engine". The engine uses the slowing of the particles when they come from a vacuum to an effective area of the quantum field. So the Cherenkov engine will shoot extremely fast particles to the quantum bubble and those particles are sending photons and push the craft forward. The push against the quantum bubble will increase the thrust of the engine. And along with the ability to use heavier particles than photons is giving more thrust for that system.

The advanced civilizations can adjust the brightness of the stars by using Dyson's spheres.

(Image I)

Theoretically adjusting the brightness of the stars is quite easy. There is needed only the large number of satellites that are aiming the microwave or laser radiation to the star. Or the entire star can surround by using a megastructure called Dyson's sphere.

Dyson's sphere-type megastructures can use for creating even stars. The advanced civilization can control entire stars and collect energy by using Dyson's spheres. The enormous megastructure will surround the entire stars and back holes and collect the energy from those objects. 

That is one vision of how the extremely advanced civilization can operate at the interstellar level. In some visions, the extremely large-size Dyson's spheres can also use to make stars. The system would act like this. The needed parts are two Dyson's spheres. One of them is a surrounding star or black hole, and another will go in the interstellar nebula. 

Then the system starts to collect hydrogen ions in the middle of it, and then it starts to stress it by using lasers and microwaves. At that point, another Dyson's spheres will deliver energy for the first one. The Dyson's sphere must just collect enough hydrogen in the middle of it. And the self-sustaining fusion is starting. So Dyson's sphere will create the artificial star in it.

The black holes can also protect the futuristic spacecraft that can travel between stars in the far future. 

The theoretical civilizations can also use black holes as the power sources for their space systems. And the black holes can protect the alien crafts against the attacks. 

The term "Dyson's sphere" doesn't necessarily mean the megastructure that is surrounding the entire star. The same term is also used for the ball-shaped space stations and spacecraft that are like the "Death Star" from the Star Wars movie. In the most conventional version in the middle of that ball is formed artificial sun by sending the radio waves to its core. That thing allows producing food like vegetables on board of that kind of space station that is traveling in the solar system. 

But they can also be more capable than just cruising in the solar systems. Those ball-shaped space stations can travel between stars, and there can be virtualized Tipler cylinders in them. In that version, there is the fast-rotating plasma between the layers of the ball. And that plasma can stop the time in the system. The energy source for those futuristic space stations can be artificial black holes. Or those hypothetical aliens can surround the natural black hole by using the absolute symmetric ball. 

The black hole can give energy and thrust for that space station, which can travel between stars or even galaxies. The crew or the AI that controls the station can adjust the way, where the space station goes by opening hatches away from the route of the radiation of the black hole. The black hole will also protect the space station. If its core is damaged that thing opens the black hole to the space, and then it can suck the entire solar system in it. 

That thing can be useful in hypothetical situations. Those are introduced in the painting above this part of the text. The alien craft has come to another solar system and the reception is hostile. Maybe that kind of situation can happen in the far future when human colonists are traveling between the stars. 

Also, if there is a black hole in the ball-shaped space station it can suck energy away from its core.  If the laser or some other energy rays are impacting the core of the system the energy goes into the black hole. The ball-shaped structure helps to keep the station in the form. Because the black hole cannot pull the ball in it. 

That thing can protect the craft against hostile actions. In that case, the purpose of the black hole is the same as the role of the nuclear reactor is in the aircraft carriers. If the aircraft carrier is under attack and the core of the nuclear reactor is damaged. That can cause pollution. The same way the black hole can protect the ball-shaped space station against attacks.

The problem of the speed of light.

The problem of the speed of light.

If we would send the crew to another solar system, that thing needs a very big investment. And if we would make the manned flight to another solar system it would mean the final goodbye for that crew, if we cannot create craft what would travel faster than the speed of light. And this is the problem. We cannot make sure if the system like WARP-craft or wormhole would work properly before we test it.

And if the craft would be a disappointment, there is a possibility, that we cannot get it back, or in the better case, the craft would turn useless version of the giant spacecraft, which can be modified to the space station. But if the craft would travel about 50% of the speed of light, the journey to the Alpha Centauri system would take over 8 years to one way.

The problems with long-term space trips to other solar systems are that we don't know how to handle time. So when we are creating the models, where the spacecraft would reach the speed of the light or goes faster than the light, we must realize that there would be two versions of that very interesting phenomenon.

The realistic version of that thing is the virtual crossing the speed of light. In that case, the spacecraft would create the speed, which is near the speed of light, and then the time would go slower or even stop inside the capsule. Or if we would increase the mass or energy to that craft, the thing would cause the effect, that the time seems to go backward, because its energy would be so huge, that the light cannot escape from the surface.

But the craft is not crossing the speed of light. And the thing is that the journey to the nearest star would take 4,3 years, or in fact, the flight time would take longer, because the craft would be accelerated years, and the breaking would take years. The virtual crossing the speed of light would happen by connecting the particle accelerator to the craft, and that would make that effect possible if the particle accelerator would start near the speed of light. The idea would be that the magnetic accelerator would move particles forward when the craft is traveling near the speed of light.

There is one another possibility to attempt that kind of thing like real crossing the speed of light, but that thing needs the so enormous craft, that is hard to create even in the most optimistic visions. The first stage of the craft would equip with the giant magnetic accelerator, and when this base stage would be accelerated near the speed of light, another stage would send to the forward by using the particle accelerator.

That thing would, in theory, make that incredible thing possible, but the problem is how to stop that vehicle? The second stage would not be very big, and that would make it impossible to use any kind of braking system unless some version of the solar sail would be used in that mission. So that system could be the solar brake.

The WARP-system might have the potential for that kind of system, but the problem is that we cannot know the answers for that thing could the vehicle somehow cross the speed of light before the WARP-craft has been created. And here we are facing things, what is the only possible in the space programs, and the thing is that if the speed of WARP or some other spacecraft would be only 15% of the speed of light, that thing would be a very big disappointment.

But the speed of that spacecraft would be very high, and that means that in that case, when the speed was only small part of the expected or hoped, the craft cannot return very easily. And that means that if the WARP would not work perfectly, we would notice that thing even after a couple of years. The system would make for nothing. It could travel inside the solar system, but the huge system that is meant for interstellar craft would be a little bit too big for interplanetary flight, and those systems would not be suitable for small scale missions.

Is it because they are there? (Interstellar travel)

Is it because they are there? (Interstellar travel)

People have highly motive to research the vehicles, which can probably use sometimes in the future for interstellar travel. And there is one little problem with that kind of project, which is how we argument that thing for people, who give money to those programs. The thing in those missions is that the target must be really interesting, like Earth-like planet. 

But if those planets have intelligent lifeforms, that thing would cause hostile actions against our planet. And if we would want to get data from that solar system, the flyby mission would be too limited, and the probe should turn to the orbital trajectory, but that would require complicated technology. There is a possibility, that those planets would be hot and rocky worlds, where is no water, and those objects we can search by using telescopes. And what if we find aliens, well let's say that we hope that we will find them and at the same time that we will not find those mysterious creatures. 

And this is one of the greatest problems with the interstellar spacecraft. The other main question in those trips is that those journeys would be one-way trips to distant stars, and if those automatized probes would just make a flyby of those solar systems, that thing might cause one little question: what we simply forget that spacecraft during the journey. 

If the trip to some stars would take about 200-500 years, that thing is a long time and the thing is that there are many generations between that enormous spacecraft and humans, who send it to journey. And that thing makes possible that we just even remember, that spacecraft is left. So all work that is done would be for nothing. 

The size and price of the interstellar spacecraft would be very high. That means that there must be some kind of benefit about those flights. And in some horrifying scenarios the probe, what is sent from Earth to another solar system, because there is Eart-like planet, would just accidentally collide with that planet. The reason could be the error in controlling computers or the software, which controls the flight, and that causes a huge explosion.

And in the worst case the war of worlds. If we would create the spacecraft, what would travel to planet Jupiter and back, the time of that journey is long, and the crew would spend the long term of their life in the space. That journey is complicated enough, but if we would like to create the base to another planet, that thing would be more complicated, because there might be earthquakes and other kinds of things, which might cause problems in those cases. 

The realistic choice of those bases is that there would live only the researchers and some other highly-trained specialists. If we think of mass colonization to other planets, we might do that kind of plan if Earth would be somehow destroyed or somehow turn to inhabitable. And force to leave is a little bit different than voluntary colonization.

But if we would think that ordinary people can move to the other planets, that thing could be possible only in the distant future. If we think that we would send a spacecraft to the other solar system, we must realize, that we would be lost the crew, what leaves to that journey. They would ever come back, and that thing would put breaks in that kind of plan. The only realistic version of the craft would be an unmanned probe, which is controlled by artificial intelligence.

One technology, what will take humans to Alpha Centauri

One technology, what will take humans to Alpha Centauri

By using this kind of technology mankind can travel to Alpha Centauri in about eight years, but that thing needs enormous systems. And traveling to further the craft should be more sophisticated than this version. The problem with interstellar visions is to select a suitable star for the journey, and then choose the suitable techniques for the journey would take a long time. By using the next kind of complicated techniques the journey to the other solar systems would be possible, but the system allows to travel to Alpha Centauri, and further journey needs more sophisticated techniques. 

When we are thinking about the technologies, what can be used to travel in interstellar space, we must realize that the pure systems are not possible to make. The best possibility of that kind of journey would be hybrid technology. In that technology, the multiple systems would accelerate the spacecraft across space, and if we would need to make systems, what is giving the necessary punch for interstellar spacecraft, we must realize that those giant lasers and electron cannons are also weapons. And in the real-life interstellar space journey, there are many problems for solving, before the real craft would send to trip. 

One of the biggest problems is how to get the spacecraft, which would travel with very high speed out of solar systems across the Oort Cloud in one piece. And that thing is very complicated because of the size or weight of spacecraft would be about 20 tonnes, it would pull other objects to it at very high speed. And if the speed is about 20-50% of the speed of light, the impact with every particle would be devastating. One technology that allows interstellar space travel possible is the hybrid technology, where the spacecraft would push to the journey by using the giant electron cannon. 

This cannon could be the artificial neutron star or the giant generator, which will create an extremely high energy field by using plasma or ionized gas, which will rotate the stator of the generator. This technology, what is imitating things, what is happening inside planet Jupiter, would make possible to load the spacecraft with energy at the same time it would use its electron or WARP-systems. In this case, the electron cannon would push the craft forward for giving more punch to its motors, and when the spacecraft would be accelerated to the very high speed, it would start to push by using the laser.

The electron cannon would orbit the sun between the Earth and Mars, and when the craft has been traveled to cross the trajectory of Neptune, it would get more punch from the very high power lasers or radiowaves, what is sent by the nuclear-powered laser and maser systems. In this scenario, this is orbiting the sun outside the trajectory of Neptune, and when the speed would be near the speed of the light, the photon motor of the system would be started. If the speed is less than 95-99 percent of the speed of light there is no benefit for launching the photon rocket. And at that speed, the craft would not have time to break or give away in the front of particles, what can be the size of the sand crystal. 

If we would put the laser outside the Oort Cloud, what will happen in that case? The system would be enormous, the length of that hybrid system, what might be the free-electron laser would be even hundreds of kilometers. The nuclear power would make it very heavy, and in that case, the problem is to get this system behind the Oort Cloud. And it will pull meteorites and asteroids to it. When the spacecraft is flying the speed what is high enough, the system would turn to use laser, what would give a lighter punch, but the impulse of that thing is higher than use particles like electrons and protons, what will give more punch than photons, but those heavier particles are slower. 

So in some visions that enormous machine would use to clear the particles away from the route of the spacecraft by using laser- or maser radiation, what will destroy the "snowballs" away from the route of the spacecraft. And in this case, the thing is that the smallest particles, what are the most dangerous might be left behind.

One version of solar sail might give the ability to travel to the nearest stars

One version of solar sail might give the ability to travel to the nearest stars

Solar sails are impressive equipment because they are giving the ability to travel outside the solar system without external fuel. That means that the solar sail might have an impressive capacity for researching the solar system because the solar sail itself would not need any kind of fuel. But there is a possibility to make solar sails even more impressive than so-called passive sails.

If we would cover the extreme thin mylar layer with the silicon panels, what would give the electricity for the systems of the probe, that allows it to use ion motors, what would give more thrust than the sail itself could give. But when we are thinking about the solar sail and things, what is giving extreme high speed, we could use the external power source for that kind of systems.

In some ideas, the extreme thin mylar layer would be covered with the metal layer, what consists only one or two atom layers, and then the radio telescopes would send very high power radio impulses to that layer, what gives the probe electricity. And if there is some material what could be steamed, the system would impact with the radio- or laser radiation. That steam would also increase the thrust of the solar sail.

So the idea of those solar sails is that they are using the solar wind for traveling, and far away from the sun, the solar wind has not a very big effect on the speed. And that is the key problem for the solar sails, what is safest and ecological ideas on how to travel outside from the solar system. The hybrid solutions are very interesting ways to make that kind of spacecraft safer, and the connection of solar sails with the antimatter or some other exotic rocket solutions.

The idea is that solar sails would carry the spacecraft away from earth, and then the main engine would start. That kind of things are saving fuel and in destiny, the solar sails would also break the extreme fast spacecraft. If the solar sail would open near the targeted star, that thing will work like giant airbrake, what will slow the speed of the probe.

One solution what is forgotten when we are thinking about hybrid spacecraft is to use the solar sail as the giant antenna, what would induct the electricity to the spacecraft from the radio waves, what would send to it by using masers, as I have written before. But there is another way to increase the speed, and that is cover the solar sail with uranium or plutonium.

Then there would cause the fission in that layer by warming it or target the particle shower what comes from nuclear reactor to that layer. That system is the less radical version of the motor, what is created for antimatter rocket. The big surface area would help to decrease the temperature of fission and in those solutions the cooling the reactor is easier because the giant solar sail would help to decrease the temperature.

That system would base the technology, where the nuclear reactor is between the solar sail and the exhaust channel. The nuclear particles from the reactor would cause fission in the uranium layer, and also the particles what are sending backward would give thrust for the probe. And instruments might be far ahead of the motor after a very long stick, where are lots of highly radioactive material, what can disturb sensors.
