为星际飞行设计零点场和可极化真空
Engineering the Zero-Point Field and Polarizable Vacuum For Interstellar Flight
摘要：
在远程空间探索的高级规划中，一个突出的主题是“无推进剂推进”或“场推进”的概念。这个概念的一个版本涉及到空的空间本身（量子真空或时空度量）可能被操纵的可能性，以便为未来的太空飞行器提供能量/推力。虽然这样的提议有一定的科幻性质，但现代理论将真空描述为维持能量量子波动的可极化介质。因此，物质/真空相互作用可能被设计用于空间飞行应用的可能性并不被先验地排除，尽管需要承认某些限制。本文考虑了这样一个意义深远的假设的结构和影响。
英文摘要：
A theme that has come to the fore in advanced planning for long-range space exploration is the concept of "propellantless propulsion" or "field propulsion." One version of this concept involves the projected possibility that empty space itself (the quantum vacuum, or space-time metric) might be manipulated so as to provide energy/thrust for future space vehicles. Although such a proposal has a certain science-fiction quality about it, modern theory describes the vacuum as a polarizable medium that sustains energetic quantum fluctuations. Thus the possibility that matter/vacuum interactions might be engineered for space-flight applications is not a priori ruled out, although certain constraints need to be acknowledged. The structure and implications of such a far-reaching hypothesis are considered herein.
