I won't even pretend to know the details of it, the math, etc (it's deep quantum mechanics) but I know it involves the concept of two different infinities - one large infinity and one small infinity - with the larger acting on the smaller.
Take two "massless plates" and situate them very close to each other in a vacuum. Virtual particles will pop in and out of existence all around, but because of the proximity of the plates only smaller wavelength particles can exist in that space between the plates, whereas outside the two plates larger wavelength particles can exist. The larger infinity outside acts as on the smaller infinity inside (think of it as a zero) and pushes the two plates together. No mechanical force, no gravitational force, no electromagnetic force... just the difference in infinities (quantum wave probabilities) - the Casimir Effect.
Good luck wrapping your mind around that. Not sure how that turns into propulsion though. That's where I zone out and want to go walk in the woods or something.

They harness zero-point energy to manipulate the space-time fabric and basically sort of drag themselves under or over the fabric. Pretty interesting when he goes into how it works in Excession. I think you would like that book.WH

Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?
You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

Duh.Many of you have met me before though. Under the guise of my alter ego from the old board. If you knew who it was you'd probly have even more to say. But, you won't. A little hint: My real name isn't Justin. Or stanley, for that matter. But I had a well known alias on the other board that had many thousands of posts. Not the lesser alias of Justinsn95.
