Carl Sagan, I have a growing interest in physics. Your book ' Contact ' was about the beginning when I began researching the cosmos. I would like to suggest a theory I have developed with you. It is very inportant to me because it involves extending the light constant. As you know how that would be if one could create an extension to lightspeed ?
My theory I call " The Quanta Physics Theory ' is a direct propulsion study so what like the Alcubierre Theory. But details the information directly from general and special relativivyt on a common format with E=Mc2. In my theory I use E=Mq2T-1second.
Quanta physics entails the theory of FTL speedfs with the formatted indifferences between empty space and gravitational field space. As you know these two fields are quite different. But what I have done is researched this indifference on the tread of Einsteins' theory which indicates that nothing can travel faster the light because of relativistic interactions - in his case from gravity. He extends his theory to outer space as well. But the difference is very obvious.
Viewing these facts I found that einstein measured his theory on the force of gravity - that did not allow him to obtain a theory based on a true empty field. Of course, a photon travels at light speed.
The problem lies on the fact that the speed of light in a relativistic field he explains shortens the value of the acceleration. He based his theory as such. He then speculated the light constant with a photon's zero mass. But assentially, When you view the fact that an object having the ability to travel at light speed but not faster. And is slowed down by gravty. Looking at the same object in a weightless condition taking the place of a photon's zero mass. The object is not slowed down. You agree ?
The object not slowed by gravity or standing relativistic energies as there are none assentially in space. The spacecraft has been shortened in its acceleration due to gravity. Yes ? The object slowed by gravity. In a weightless vacuum state such as space. The shortening factor cause by gravity on Earth. In space - the spacecraft retains the propulsional force relative to E=Mc2...that caused it to slow down on the planets surface. In space - is able to use this extra accelerational force to travel to lightspeed ? I'Am I correct ?
The fact is that the force that causes the ship to slow down on earth equated in my formula illustrates that in place of it with ZPE space. The ship has the capacity to travel at a much greater velocity in outer space. That velocity is measured at 372,000 m/s. As in my equation...
If you look at physicsamerica.com you will see my factual basis on FTL superluminal speeds.. And I hope you can agree with my threads...

Hope your well...r.kawecki 2006
