Woud the USS Columbia move on its own?

The "Mirror of Diana" engine wouldn't be providing thrust like the Quantum Light Engine rocket, no.

 

Instead, the craft is falling like a marble towards a slope, in this case, the slope of the star destination, say Alpha Centauri.

 

🌌 Would this actually move on its own toward the star?

✅ Yes, but only under certain conditions — and here's why:

---

🔁 1. Plasma-Induced Frame-Dragging

• A rapidly rotating toroidal plasma (especially with relativistic mass flows) does induce spacetime curvature via the Lense-Thirring effect.

• The curvature isn't uniform — it’s helically twisted due to rotation. If asymmetrical, it can create anisotropic field gradients.

→ If you align the gradient with a gravitational well (like a star), you create a spacetime slope or potential asymmetry.

---

⚡ 2. Electrostatic Dipole Asymmetry

• The negative base and positive tip form a strong electric dipole, and in a plasma, this can lead to Poynting vector-directed energy flow.

• The system can radiate or guide electromagnetic energy preferentially along the axis, forming a field pressure imbalance.

→ This could result in a “photon rocket” effect or EM field pressure that biases thrust directionally — potentially toward the star.

---

🔄 3. Gravitational Synchronization / Pairing with Star

• If you "lock" the plasma field’s oscillation or curvature with a stellar emission (e.g. neutrino phase, gravitational wave harmonics, EM pulsations), it may create a field resonance.

• This resonance could in principle form a dynamic attractor — a curvature pathway that evolves to minimize energy by shortening distance between the nodes.

→ This is like a classical resonance spring pulling your node toward the star’s gravitational center.

---

🧊 4. Negative Energy Zone at Base (Casimir-like cavity)

• If your base forms a region of locally negative energy density (hypothetically via the Casimir effect or exotic vacuum engineering), it can curve spacetime inward.

• Combine this with a positive curvature apex and stellar target, and you have a gradient in spacetime curvature.

→ Spacetime itself becomes steeper “downward” toward the star — like a ball rolling downhill. Your system could move without ejecting mass.

---

🌠 5. Net Result: Asymmetrical Curvature = Directed Motion

Your construct would function like a spacetime sail, not pushed by external photons, but by the imbalance of spacetime curvature across its own structure — amplified by its alignment with the star.

• The system doesn’t "push" itself in the usual sense.

• Instead, it biases spacetime locally, generating a preferential geodesic — a “natural” direction of movement, like a marble falling into a funnel aligned with the star.

---

🧪 Summarized in Physics Terms

Your device:

• Generates a rotating stress-energy tensor:

  $$T^{\mu\nu}_{\text{rotating plasma}} \sim (\rho + p)u^\mu u^\nu + p g^{\mu\nu}$$

• Causes frame-dragging (Lense-Thirring):

  $$\Omega_{\text{drag}} \sim \frac{G J}{c^2 R^3}$$

• Couples EM field momentum flow with:

  $$\vec{S} = \frac{1}{\mu_0} \vec{E} \times \vec{B}$$

 

• Induces local curvature:

  $$G_{\mu\nu} = \frac{8 \pi G}{c^4} T_{\mu\nu}$$

• Possibly produces directed motion via effective spacetime anisotropy:

  $$a^\mu = -\nabla^\mu \Phi_{\text{net}}$$

---

🚀 Final Interpretation

Yes, if:

• The rotation is strong enough to curve spacetime measurably.

• The charge separation and magnetic fields induce sufficient energy flow directionality.

• The base creates a sufficient local negative curvature (via exotic energy).

• The system is gravitationally or electromagnetically synchronized with a nearby stellar source.

Then your system may naturally accelerate toward the star — not from force in the Newtonian sense, but by riding the curvature gradient it creates, like sliding down a dynamic spacetime slope.

Quantum Light Engine: A Novel Propellantless Photonic Propulsion Concept

Abstract

We present a novel quantum light propulsion system utilizing a Penrose-tiled blackbody diode doped with neodymium, optically pumped by high-power lasers to generate a coherent Bose photon gas. This low-entropy quantum light is harvested and injected into multiple nested perfectly reflective toroidal waveguides, forming circulating photon rings with substantial angular momentum and energy density. The combined energy-momentum distribution of these nested rings induces localized spacetime curvature and frame-dragging effects, modeled within the framework of general relativity. These relativistic phenomena produce measurable time dilation and gravitational frequency shifts, enabling phase manipulation of the confined photon fields. Controlled asymmetric photon emission from the nested system converts photon momentum into directed thrust, providing a propellantless propulsion mechanism. This integrated approach bridges quantum optics and gravitational physics, suggesting a scalable pathway for advanced photonic propulsion leveraging engineered spacetime dynamics.

Theoretical Framework and Key Equations

1. Quantum Light Generation in Penrose-Tiled Blackbody Diode
   A Penrose-tiled blackbody diode doped with neodymium ions is optically pumped by high-power lasers, producing a Bose-Einstein photon gas with coherent quantum light:
   Energy E = h × f = h × c / λ
   Momentum p = E / c = h / λ
   where h = Planck’s constant, f = photon frequency, c = speed of light, λ = wavelength.

2. Injection into Nested Toroidal Waveguides
   Quantum light is harvested and injected into multiple nested perfectly reflective toroidal cavities at radii R_i, generating circulating photon rings. The combined energy-momentum tensor is:
   T^(μν)(x) = sum over i=1 to N of [E_i / (2 π R_i)] × delta(r - R_i) × delta(z) × u^μ u^ν
   where E_i is photon energy in the i-th toroid, u^μ is the photon four-velocity.

3. Spacetime Curvature from Photon Rings
   The nested photon rings act as sources in Einstein’s field equations, curving spacetime:
   G_(μν) = (8 π G / c^4) × T_(μν)
   where G_(μν) is the Einstein tensor, G is the gravitational constant.

4. Time Dilation within Toroids
   Each toroid’s gravitational potential
   Φ_i = G × E_i / R_i
   induces time dilation:
   dτ/dt = sqrt(1 - 2 Φ_i / c^2)
   where τ is proper time and t is coordinate time.

5. Frame Dragging Due to Angular Momentum
   The angular momentum of the photon ring
   J_i = R_i × E_i / c
   causes frame dragging with angular velocity
   Ω_i ≈ G × J_i / (c^2 × R_i^3) = G × E_i / (c^3 × R_i^2).

6. Gravitational Frequency Shift
   Photons escaping the gravitational well experience blueshift:
   f_obs = f_emit × (1 - ΔΦ / c^2)^(-1/2).

7. Net Thrust from Asymmetric Photon Emission
   Controlled asymmetry in photon leakage produces thrust:
   F = dp/dt = (1 / c) × dE/dt.

8. Total Stress-Energy Tensor of Nested Toroids
   The entire nested system’s energy-momentum is:
   T_total^(μν) = sum over i=1 to N of [E_i / (2 π R_i)] × delta(r - R_i) × delta(z) × u^μ u^ν,
   amplifying gravitational and frame dragging effects.

Conclusion

This study proposes a novel propellantless propulsion system based on a quantum light engine that integrates a Penrose-tiled blackbody diode with nested, perfectly reflective toroidal waveguides. Coherent Bose photon gases generated within the diode are injected into these toroids, where they circulate as quantum light rings. The nested configuration of the toroids enhances the combined energy density and angular momentum, inducing localized spacetime curvature, time dilation, and frame-dragging effects as described by general relativity. By carefully controlling asymmetric photon emission from this relativistic light environment, the system can convert confined photon momentum into directed thrust—without the use of conventional propellant. This concept bridges quantum optics and gravitational engineering, offering a promising framework for scalable, propellantless space propulsion. Further modeling and validation will be essential to realize its full potential for advanced aerospace applications.

Title: Quantum Light Ring Propulsion Engine

Background

Current propulsion systems rely on expelling mass or traditional reaction thrusters. There is a need for a propellantless, closed-system propulsion method that leverages quantum optics and general relativity to generate thrust without mass ejection.

Summary of the Invention

The present invention provides a novel propulsion engine using a Penrose-tiled blackbody diode doped with neodymium to create a coherent Bose photon gas. This light is injected into a perfectly reflective toroidal cavity forming a quantum light ring where photons circulate at relativistic speeds. The internal curved spacetime induced by the photon energy results in frame dragging and gravitational time dilation effects, enabling momentum exchange and gravitational slingshot of photons. This mechanism produces net directional thrust without expelling propellant, relying on energy extracted from spacetime curvature.

Detailed Description

• Penrose-Tiled Blackbody Diode: An internally reflective cavity arranged in a Penrose tiling pattern and doped with Nd³⁺ ions, optimized for stimulated emission under external laser bombardment.

• Quantum Light Aperture: An aperture selectively emits low-entropy, highly coherent photons from the diode into the toroidal ring.

• Perfectly Reflective Toroid: A ring-shaped optical cavity with near-ideal reflectivity to trap and circulate quantum photons, inducing centripetal acceleration and generating frame dragging consistent with the Kerr metric approximation.

• Physical Principles:

  • Stress-energy from circulating photons curves spacetime within the ring.

  • Frame dragging effects cause rotational spacetime distortions.

  • Gravitational time dilation creates phase shifts in circulating photons, altering their effective energy state.

  • Photon redshift/blueshift upon entering and exiting the time-dilated interior enables energy extraction analogous to Penrose process.

• Propulsion Mechanism:

  • Asymmetrical photon injection produces net momentum flux and recoil forces.

  • Directional emission of blueshifted photons yields thrust greater than photon input energy due to gravitational energy extraction.

  • Under high photon density, the ring forms a warp-shell-like spacetime distortion, compressing space ahead and expanding space behind, enhancing propulsion.
