Current method of slowdown a remote space probe: carry enough fuel to slow down what was accelerated with much effort and gravitational assist, or, program a long journey for the probe and not slow it, or, program a nice crash site for an abrupt stop. Proposing: spaceship...See more

Lightspeed Catapult

Proposing: Accelerating spaceprobes via centrifuge and material stability until such speeds as to bend then fold spacetime near then beyond lightspeed. Basic concept:Swing the spaceprobe around and around, cooling the ropes via laser cooling while holding and reinforcing integrity, until spacetime s...

Alternative voltage became necessity because continuous voltage meets growing impedance travelling in long wires from the disturbed electric fields of the environment, so much that it is easier to sharply invert voltage and let the inversion spread than to keep...See more
