Default Hal Puthoff's UFO warp drive "metric engineering"

Corrected & expanded draft technical part

I mean the problem needs to be made specific.

Nowhere in any of Hal's papers does he even write the words "vacuum
coherence".

Where in orthodox QED PV is there "vacuum coherence"?

Not that Hal does any QED in his papers on PV gravity.

Hal writes

K = e^-2GM/c^2r

Where is there any quantum theory in that?

Where is there any "vacuum coherence"?

Am I missing something here?

If so, I wish someone would enlighten me with specifics and not cheer
leading one-liners. This is not a football came although there
are flying round objects in the sky. "Heads up" as Farley would say. ;-)

I am playing straight and with details. I wish Hal and Eric would do the
same with real details.

Remember that I did make a model

Grho is replaced by c^2/\zpf

So that for a sphere of exotic vacuum of radius r*

GM/c^2r is replaced by (mod 4pi's etc)

/\zpfr*^3/r

so that Hal's K is now

K = e^/\zpfr*^3/r

then there is the issue

What is r?

Hal says it's isotropic r, but takes it down all the way to r - 0.

I say Hal is in error in his physical interpretation of r.

He is going off the coordinate patch. He needs something
like the Kruskal-Finkelstein extension to do the problem correctly
mathematically. He is reaching false physical conclusions by
doing bad differential geometry.

In GR SSS isotropic r is only good up to the event horizon.

In Hal's PV there is no event horizon. but there is a boundary to the
isotropic r coordinate patch that Hal & Ibison are oblivious to.
I gave formal details of this in
Space-Time and Beyond II

The spatial part of Hal's "isotropic metric" is

K^-1(dr^2 + r^2(dtheta^2 + sin^2thetadphi^2)

Therefore

rc = K^-1/2r = re^GM/c^2r

where rc is the Schwarzschild radial coordinate in terms of which
the area of concentric spheres is 4pirc^2 as explained, e.g. by
John Wheeler in "A Journey into Gravity and Space-Time".

Even Mike Ibison agrees with that much.

Therefore

drc/dr = (1 -GM/c^2r)e^GM/c^2r

with the critical turning point at

r = GM/c^2

which is like an event horizon in that it is the
boundary of the isotropic radial coordinate patch,

The idea here is that the derivative drc/dr changes sign
when r GM/c^2

IMHO Hal and Mike Ibison completely misinterpret the physical meaning of
that mathematical fact.


Where

/\zpf = Lp*^-2[Lp*^3|Vacuum Coherence|^2 - 1]

This is normalized so that vanishing vacuum coherence inside a "vortex
string core" will be stabilizing strongly attractive "dark matter"
explaining the cohesiveness (Poincare stress) of the spatially extended
electron as a micro-geon.

Lp*^2 = hG*/c^3

hc/Lp*^2 = String Tension

/\zpf 0 is attractive exotic vacuum dark matter

/\zpf 0 is repulsive exotic vacuum dark energy

Put the two together the way Herman Bondi suggested ~ 1960 and what do
you get?

Essentially you get the Alcubierre weightless warp drive.

That's what I get.

What do youse guys get to compare with what I just showed you?

Time to show your hands Boys. I call your bluff. I raise you "billions
and billions." Play Poker!

Remember Bondi was Chief Scientist of the British Ministry of Defense
when he came to Cornell ~ 1960 to give his "saucer" talk with
Ivor Robinson that I attended in Newman Nuclear Lab with Hans Bethe and
all the Big Boys. Of course "saucers" were not explicitly mentioned.
