See "Teleportation Physics Study" by Eric W. Davis, Air Force
Research Lab Special Report, Edwards Air Force Base, August
2004, distribution unlimited (1.7 MB PDF file):

Eqs. (2.10)
About negative surface energy and negative surface tensions for a flat
mouth stargate traversable wormhole toy model. It has a singularity so
it is not a practical solution. But that is not the error. The error
creeps in when Eric talks about the Casimir force i.e. ZPF. Like Hal
Puthoff, who Eric says is his "mentor", Eric does not understand that w
= (pressure/energy density) or in this thin shell case (surface
tension/surface energy density) must = -1 for reasons of Lorentz
covariance + equivalence principle (i.e. gravity-matter minimal local
gauge coupling).
Kip Thorne's exotic matter source for the star gate (1986) was
on-mass-shell real not off-mass-shell virtual.
In the case Eric treats rather than (1 + 3w) for 3D we have (1 + 2w) for
2D "thin shell".
That is we approximate Einstein's equation to the weak field Poisson
equation
Grad^2V(exotic 2D shell throat) = (4piG/c^2)(energy density)(1 + 2w)
For Eric's solution (2.10)
This is w = +1 (on-mass-shell exotic matter)
But as soon as one talks about ZPF, then w = -1. Therefore, a negative
zpf energy density has a positive pressure and this will gravitate not
anti-gravitate as is needed. So what you want is a positive zero point
energy density to get the anti-gravity. Eric explains this incorrectly.
Also the QED Casimir force has nothing to do with this totally new kind
of induced strong gravity from exotic vacuum zero point energy!
The discussion on p. 10 of this USAF report is seriously wrong. This is
a common confusion in the literature BTW. Eric makes no mention of dark
energy in precision cosmology so it is not surprising that he makes this
conceptual error. Had he read Mike Turner's reviews on dark energy he
would have realized this error, which has propagated in Nick Cook's book
"The Hunt for Zero Point" and in Aviation Week's "To The Stars" earlier
this year. |
