Glen “Tony” Robertson joins us from the Interstellar Research Group (IRG 2021) conference to discuss his poster-session presentation on the exhibition floor for Quantum Gravity as a Quantum Warp Field. This theory suggests that an asymmetric quantum energy field surrounding mass causes acceleration, potentially enabling faster-than-light travel. The model, developed since 2005 in collaboration with Dr. Raymond Lewis, simplifies existing equations and offers a new gravitational equation calculating quantum energy.

There is considerable theoretical and experimental basis behind the idea that everything that surrounds us can be described as macroscopic collections of fluctuations, vibrations, and oscillations associated with quantum mechanical fluctuations and quantum energy fluctuations. Due to this, matter can be taken to be composed of quantum mechanical fluctuations super-imposed on quantum energy fluctuations, and surrounded by a medium of quantum energy fluctuations.

This presentation shows the development of quantum gravity in terms of the energy shell of quantum fluctuations that emanates from objects. Showing that all accelerations, to include gravity, results from the displacement of the accelerated object’s energy shell of quantum fluctuations, which looks like a warp field in spacetime. That is, all accelerated objects produce a quantum warp field when accelerated to any speed.

A Quantum Leap in Propulsion:

Robertson’s theory builds upon a model he’s been developing since 2005, in collaboration with Dr. Raymond Lewis, with initial work dating back to 2004. This model posits that all mass possesses two quantum fields: a mechanical field and an energy field. By manipulating the electron interactions within these fields, it’s theoretically possible to generate electromagnetic acceleration. Crucially, this model, unlike many others, accounts for all forms of acceleration.

The theory draws parallels to the Casimir effect, suggesting that energy shells surrounding mass carry momentum, similar to the behavior observed in Newton’s cradle. This concept bears a resemblance to the Alcubierre warp drive, but instead of warping spacetime directly, Robertson’s model proposes manipulating the quantum energy field that constitutes spacetime itself.

Overcoming Obstacles:

Despite the theory’s potential, Robertson’s paper was initially rejected by the symposium organizers, leading to a poster presentation instead. While some speculate that the rejection stemmed from the unconventional nature of the theory, Robertson suggests past issues with the organizers may have played a role. The completed model, finalized late last year, simplifies existing equations by considering mass density, offering a more streamlined approach to calculating quantum energy. Robertson even presented a new gravitational equation, demonstrating the calculation of quantum energy using Earth’s gravity and radius, and explaining how mass changes with radius, suggesting the potential for quantized gravitational mass.

Implications and Future Directions:

Robertson’s work offers a fresh perspective on interstellar travel, potentially bypassing the limitations of current propulsion technologies. While the energy requirements for manipulating the quantum energy field remain a key area of future research, the theory’s elegance and potential impact on our understanding of gravity and propulsion are undeniable. The symposium, while featuring other presentations, highlighted the significance of this groundbreaking work, leaving attendees eager to see further development and testing of this innovative approach to interstellar exploration. The full paper is available on ResearchGate for those wishing to delve deeper into the intricacies of this fascinating theory.
