The book gives new insights into an incident known as "Britain's Roswell" as well as the belief in UFOs by high ranking defence officials. Project Condign Documents in the files reveal that there were high level defence officials in the 1990s who believed UFOs could be spacecraft piloted by extraterrestrials who could even be conducting "tourist" visits to earth. In 1993, an RAF Wing Commander lobbied MoD officials about the need for a properly funded study. He told them: "The national security implications (of UFOs) are considerable. We have many reports of strange objects in the skies and have never investigated them." He added: "If the sightings are of devices not of earth then their purpose needs to be established as a matter of priority. There has been no apparently hostile intent and other possibilities are: (1) military reconnaissance, (2) scientific, (3) tourism."

You real hassle might be in braking. An interesting twist to the theoretical, faster than light tachyon particle, is the theory that its energy consumption is the exact opposite of a particle in normal space.

That is, when you accelerate a particle in normal space to speeds approaching the speed of light, you have to add progressively greater amounts of energy, until it is “chock full” of energy at the speed of light.

And this “chock full” state continues when you are faster than the speed of light, but at the *slowest* faster than light speed. From the point of view of tachyon space all that energy is going into inertia. So to go faster, you have to give up energy.

So the fastest tachyon particles have the least energy. How about that for an oddity? In normal space we pump in energy to accelerate. In tachyon space, you need to pump in energy to brake.

I knew that..I just read a book by Stephen Hawking where he explains all that stuff in detail...actually I understood absolutely nothing of what he wrote but I read the book cover to cover...from black holes to planes to ???? very interesting but not an easy read!!!
