APEC 8/30: AI Warp-Drive Physics, Matter Waves & Woodward Tribute

Jack Sarfatti will be discussing new AI warp-drive physics, Eric Reiter will be presenting on Matter Waves & Probability Waves, and Curtis Horn will be leading a tribute to Dr. James Woodward. We’ll also be hearing updates from our lab partners and finishing off the event with an open discussion by conference attendees!

12:00pm PT – Jack Sarfatti – AI & Warp Drive Physics

Dr. Jack Sarfatti has been working with the Grok AI on new formulations and solutions to warp drive physics issues. He will be presenting on breakthroughs he developed using this system that rely entirely on accepted conventional physical models & formulas, but still facilitate the development of breakthrough physics. This is important not only because of the new physical solutions Sarfatti has generated, but also because it demonstrates that human-AI collaborative development has reached the point of producing viable results.

1:00pm PT – Eric Reiter – Matter Waves Are Not Probability Waves, Live Demonstration

In 1929, Estermann and Stern measured a diffraction pattern from Helium upon a crystal that conformed to deBroglie’s wave equation. Thinking in terms of particles, Max Born assigned these wave properties to a non-physical probability wave. The probability interpretation predicts that a helium atom would go one way or another at a beam splitter. In this meeting, Eric Reiter will demonstrate his experiment whereby singly emitted helium atoms can generate clicks in both detectors past a beam splitter at rates exceeding accidental chance. Helium in this experiment are singly emitted alpha rays from spontaneous decay of Americium-241, a radiation source taken from a smoke detector. To exceed chance means we are not dealing with particles transmitted across space. We are showing that everything is thresholded, not quantized. We are showing that helium matter waves must be loading up until a threshold is reached that makes both detectors go click in coincidence. There is still such a thing as a helium atom, but helium can lose that property of holding together and can spread as a matter wave. Eric will also explain with his threshold model how a matter wave can transmit its identity, yet spread as a wave. This threshold model also explains our classical experiments that have been interpreted quantum mechanically. Eric has also refuted the photon model with similar beam split tests employing gamma rays.

2:00pm PT – Curtis Horn – Tribute To Dr. James Woodward

Dr. James F. Woodward passed on August 9th, 2025. For decades, he was a highly respected member of the alternative propulsion & emerging physics communities, known globally for his work on the “Mach Effect” and Mach-Assist Gravity Effect (MEGA) Drive. We will be inviting Jim’s close friends & members of his working group to discuss the remarkable legacy of scientific progress that he leaves behind, in addition to his team’s plan to continue moving this work forward.

3:00pm PT – Lab Partners – Experimental Research Updates

Learn about hands-on engineering & technical research on advanced propulsion experiments by our lab partners. Mark Sokol will provide updates on Dynamic Nuclear Polarization research & testing; Drew Aurigema will provide updates on his electrostatic propulsion device, and Curtis Horn describes the latest research for Dr. James Woodward’s MEGA-Drive team.

4:00pm PT – Open Discussion & Ad-Hoc Presentations

Conference guests interested in presenting experimental info to the group are invited to participate at this time, and our presenters will be available to take questions & discuss experiments.
