Movin' On Up To Light-Speed And Future. Volume 8

About the Book

Do you long for a sense of relevance of near light-speed and even light-speed impulse travel especially with regard to extremely advanced rocket craft? Do you long for a sense of the possibilities of traveling infinite distances through space and forward in time in a near instant in the ship-frame at effectively infinite multiples of light-speed? Do you find that notion that the speed of light may be inviolable a bit boring but long for a sense of why it would not matter and that traveling at light-speed can open up unimaginably large and eternal realms of travel? Are you interested in the details of spacecraft propulsion and how impulse travel to the speed of light can effectively out-do any plausible warp-drive and wormhole travel? Are you open to new meanings of the definition of travel? If your answer is yes to any of the above questions then this book is for you! Back in the days while I was a teenager, I attended a private school. The school psychologist was a consecrated Catholic religious brother with dark hair and a dark beard who used to let me ride in his fancy Ford Thunderbird. The car had a black exterior and interior. Well, at about the same time, the sitcom, “The Jeffersons” was popular and the show theme song had a refrain that went like “Well we're movin' on up. (Movin' on up). To the east side.”. Even back then I was interested in interstellar travel concepts. To make a long story short, I associated the school psychologist and rides in his Thunderbird with my internalized mantra of Movin’ on up, to the future, at near light-speed. Thus, I became more hooked on special relativistic space travel and time dilation. The fire of my imagination for near light-speed travel was lit just as assuredly as the black Ford Thunderbird resembled the eternal black cosmic void. I knew then the ramifications of infinite time dilation, infinite forward time travel, and infinite travel distances through space made mathematically plausible for light-speed impulse travel. So, if you have the courage to delve into this book, or even only study select portions thereof and wade through the math, you will likely if not already also become intrigued with Movin’ on up into the future with Special Relativity. As we now have a space travel industry, we have set before us the seas of infinity. Sailing these seas is what this book is all about.
