In normal physics, nothing can move faster than the speed of light, because Einstein's theory of relativity forbids it. However,some physicists have proposed a model of faster-than-light (FTL) travel, formulated in the context of Lorentzian manifolds, whichare used in general relativity to construct space-time models, called a wormhole and an Alcubierre’s warp drive. Warp driveworks by distorting the fabric of the spacetime, contracting spacetime in front of the spaceship and expanding it behind to create awarp continuum bubble between the two spacetime distortions in front of and behind the craft. However, it has been shown thatthe total integrated energy density needed to maintain the warp metric is physically unattainable. In this article, the authorpresents another possibility of a FTL travel method which applies the tunneling effect through the light barrier caused by themanipulation of ZPF field surrounding the spaceship.
Possibility to manipulate ZPF field around the spaceshipIf the wave energy emitted by a spaceship in the form of beam interacts with vacuum electromagnetic zero-point field (ZPF),it perturbs ZPF and decreases zero-point radiation pressure, the zero-point radiation pressure in the rear vicinity of spaceshipacting upon spaceship. For decreasing ZPF energy, we can utilize negative energy radiation. There are two main approachesto generate negative energy, which are the Casimir effect and the squeezed vacuum. The second way to obtain negativeenergy is to squeeze quantum vacuum by ultrahigh intensity lasers. By reducing the energy below the zero-point fluctuationof vacuum, the vacuum becomes squeezed, resulting in negative energy. Davis and Puthoff [12] proposed a method by use ofan ultrahigh intensity laser coupled with fast moving mirrors. By their method, negative energy can be generated by an arrayof ultra-intensity lasers using an ultra-fast rotating mirror system to create the squeezed state of the electromagnetic field,both pulses (positive and negative) are equal in time interval release. Rapidly rotating mirrors in this setup would serve thepurpose of separating the positive and negative energy, if the beams hit the mirror at a very shallow angle.
From FIG. 3. the radial frequency to plunge into FTL state for the spaceship with the mass of 100 tons can be estimated to beabout 104 Hz, then the spaceship can travel in a FTL state with a distance of24 1.510m from Eq. (19), which is beyondthe distance to the near-by galaxies. Thus, it is shown that tunneling FTL travel can be possible if negative energy can beutilized which is also used for the construction of worm holes [16]. As the equivalent mass of which becomes 4.6 × 1024 kg, then it is required about a half of the Earth’s mass to transport asmall spaceship between galaxies. However,cis much lower value, we don’t need so much negative energy.Thus, we suppose that there is some sort of quantum tunneling that might allow a subliminal particle to become asuperluminal particle, it is considered that we could tunnel through such a light barrier using quantum effect to attainsuperluminal velocities for space travel.
