10 Geoffrey Landis - Physics of Negative Mass: Applications for Propulsion and Interstellar Travel

As first analyzed by Hermann Bondi in 1957 matter with negative mass is consistent with the structure of Einsteins general theory of Relativity.
Although initially the concept was considered just a theoretical curiosity negative mass or exotic matter is now incorporated into the body of mainstream physics in a number of forms.
Negative mass has a number of rather non-intuitive properties which as first noted by Bondi and then later commented on by Forward 1990 Landis 1991 and others results in possible applications for propulsion requiring little or possibly no expenditure of fuel. As pointed out by Morris and Thorne 1988 and others negative mass or more strictly a violation of the null energy condition is also a requirement for any proposed faster than light travel.
This paper presents the basic theory of negative mass the ways by which it can manifest in contemporary physical theory and the counterintiutive properties that result including possible uses for interstellar propulsion.
to advanced propulsion. The objective of this work is to summarize the physics of negative mass and the relevance and applications The work uses fundamental concepts of physics to analyze negative mass and its consequences for propulsion. Although negative mass has moved from a theoretical curiosity to a concept fundamental to the contemporary understanding of physics it is still not clear whether bulk negative mass can be manufactured or if it is limited to only appearing at the cosmological scale e.g.
âœdark energy: or in the quantum e.g.
Casimir vacuum limit.
If it can be manufactured the propulsion applications would be significant. Recorded November 12 2019
