惯性电磁零点场论的研究进展

Advances in the proposed electromagnetic zero-point field theory of inertia

Bernhard Haisch, Alfonso Rueda, H. E. Puthoff

摘要:

位于帕洛阿尔托的洛克希德·马丁先进技术中心和位于长滩的加利福尼亚州立大学正在进行一项由NASA资助的研究工作,以开发和测试最近发表的一项理论,即牛顿的运动方程可以从麦克斯韦的电动力学方程推导出来,并应用于量子真空的零点场(ZPF)。在ZPF惯性理论中,质量被假定为不是物质的固有属性,而是一种电磁拖曳力,通过ZPF的光谱特性证明其与加速度有关。该理论提出ZPF和物质之间的相互作用发生在夸克和电子的水平上,因此可以解释复合中性粒子(如中子)的质量。把海施、鲁达和普托夫(1994)的探索性研究推广到一个适当的相对论公式的努力已经成功。此外,等效原理意味着,在这种观点中,引力也是电磁起源的,沿着萨哈罗夫(1968)提出的路线。关于奇异推进,我们可以明确地排除一种推测性的假设机制:具有负惯性质量的物质,这一由邦迪(1957)提出的概念在逻辑上是不可能的。另一方面,ZPF惯性和ZPF引力概念的联系开启了操纵惯性和引力的概念可能性,因为两者都被假设为电磁现象。希望有一天这将转化为实际的技术潜力。一个关键的问题是,所提出的产生质量现象的ZPF物质相互作用是否可能涉及一个或多个共振。目前正在调查中。

英文摘要:

A NASA-funded research effort has been underway at the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center in Palo Alto and at California State University in Long Beach to develop and test a recently published theory that Newton's equation of motion can be derived from Maxwell's equations of electrodynamics as applied to the zero-point field (ZPF) of the quantum vacuum. In this ZPF-inertia theory, mass is postulated to be not an intrinsic property of matter but rather a kind of electromagnetic drag force that proves to be acceleration dependent by virtue of the spectral characteristics of the ZPF. The theory proposes that interactions between the ZPF and matter take place at the level of quarks and electrons, hence would account for the mass of a composite neutral particle such as the neutron. An effort to generalize the exploratory study of Haisch, Rueda and Puthoff (1994) into a proper relativistic formulation has been successful. Moreover the principle of equivalence implies that in this view gravitation would also be electromagnetic in origin along the lines proposed by Sakharov (1968). With regard to exotic propulsion we can definitively rule out one speculatively hypothesized mechanism: matter possessing negative inertial mass, a concept originated by Bondi (1957) is shown to be logically impossible. On the other hand, the linked ZPF-inertia and ZPF-gravity concepts open the conceptual possibility of manipulation of inertia and gravitation, since both are postulated to be electromagnetic phenomena. It is hoped that this will someday translate into actual technological potential. A key question is whether the proposed ZPF-matter interactions generating the phenomenon of mass might involve one or more resonances. This is presently under investigation.
