I recently stumbled upon a relevant paper titled Guidelines for a Space Propulsion Device based on Heim’s Quantum Theory. This won an award at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics in the Nuclear and Future Flight Category. This paper was written by Jochem Häuser, a physicist and professor of computer science at the University of Applied Sciences in Salzgitter, and Walter Dröscher, a former Austrian patent officer and physicist. At a high level, it posits the existence of additional sub-spaces/dimensions and the alleged ability of a spacecraft to hyper-dimensionally travel significantly faster than the speed of light.
Based on recent conversations here, I felt like this paper aligns well with leading theories of extra-dimensional UAP traveling faster than the speed of light. I was hoping other physicists lurking here could maybe shed light on whether this theory fits with leading UAP characteristics.
For more details:
To highly summarize, Heim Theory ambitiously attempts to fuse quantum mechanics and general relativity. By positing a universe with at least 6 dimensions, Heim theorizes that gravitational and electro-magnetic forces can be fused. This can lead to a form of space propulsion whereby a rotating magnetic field could reduce the influence of gravity on a spacecraft enough for it to take off.
Burkhard Heim is an intriguing individual – it’s worth checking out his biography. After his theory was posited, he caught the attention of Wernher von Braun and German relativity theorist Pascual Jordan who encouraged him to publish his theory. However, due to a WWII chemical accident that permanently disfigured him, Heim retreated from public life and he was reluctant to seek additional funding for experiments based on his theory. Other aspects of his theorem have yielded fruitful results, such as predicting a fundamental particles’ masses, which was previously impossible under the standard model of physics.
Yet it wasn’t until Dröscher stumbled upon Heim’s work that further progress was made. He theorized that a universe with at least 8 dimensions (8-D Quantized Space) leads to novel forces, including a repulsive antigravity force similar to dark energy and another force which could theoretically accelerate a spacecraft. More intricate details of the theory involve the creation of ‘graviphotons,’ particles that mediate the conversion of gravitational and electromagnetic energy.
Dröscher teamed up with Häuser to come up with an experimental test, which requires a huge rotating ring placed above a superconducting coil to create an intense magnetic field. With a large enough current in the coil, and a large enough magnetic field, Dröscher claims the electromagnetic force can reduce the gravitational pull on the ring to the point where it floats free, yielding a repulsive anti-gravity force. Dröscher goes on to state that by fitting a spacecraft with this ring and coil set-up, it could be propelled into a multidimensional hyperspace. Constants of nature would differ, so the speed of light could be even several times faster. Under these conditions, one could reach Mars in less than 3 days and a star 11 light-years away in 80 days.
While this theory is still untested, it’s notable that this paper won an award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics in the Nuclear and Future Flight Category. I think it’s worth contextualizing with recent UAP developments and the increasing verification of the seemingly impossible maneuverings these UAP craft can do.
