They say that anything that solves the equations must be valid, but Einstein apparently did not believe that. He rejected some solutions out of hand because they did not appear to describe the world even if mathematically they were perfectly good solutions.

When he presented his idea in public in 1957, he became an instant celebrity. Wernher von Braun, the German engineer who at the time was leading the Saturn rocket programme Saturn rockets were in development in 1957?

"You'd better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. It's upleasantly like being drunk."
"What's so bad about being drunk?"
"You ask a glass of water."
I saw a show on worm holes and time travel a while back. I think they said, hypothetically, that it would take the 5%
of the mass of Jupiter to create a one meter diameter "rip" that would last for one second.
Just big enough for one person to jump through it.
So, the amount of energy required is phenomenal, and then, I'd bet you'd need to protect everything around it,
including the cargo...

The problem with science fiction is that it has an annoying history of becoming science fact. I believe that hyperdrive is possible. We can develop the engine - the question is, can we develop the materials necessary to protect the occupants of a vehicle that would be propelled by a hyperdrive engine?

In Heim's view of space and time, this limitation disappears. He claimed it is possible to convert electromagnetic energy into gravitational and back again, and speculated that a rotating magnetic field could reduce the influence of gravity on a spacecraft enough for it to take off.![](http://www.brafilm.no/movie_images/h_305628.jpg)

The nice thing about all this, is there is a proposed expermiment that can be done to test the theorys.
Even if its a million to once chance, I think its worth doing that experiment. The benefits are obvious if the theory holds water. The test is not a waste even if its negative. Thats the whole point of experimenting, learing what works, what doesnt.
The Wright brothers did the same thing. Testing and experimenting on something that others thought impossible.
And those first steps and efforts led to us walking on the moon only seven decades later. From zero powered flight to moonwalking, contained within a single century. Wow.
There are still great leaps to come.

There was some Russian scientist (Podelekov, I think) who spun a superconducting ring of material inside a magnetic field and claimed to have achieved a mass reduction of 2% of the ring. Might this have some correlation to Mr. Heim's work?
