In the future, humans may be able to construct spacecraft that travel fast enough to reach the Moon from Earth in just a few minutes and take 2.5 hours to reach the planets within our Solar System.
A flight from Earth to the Alpha constellation could be shortened to just 80 days.
These journeys, which seem to belong in the realm of science fiction, have recently been declared possible by two German physicists based on their groundbreaking research.
They are Dr. Walter Dresher from the University of Innsbruck and Joachim Hoiser, a leading scientist at the aerospace company HPCC. Their research builds on the theories of another German scientist, Burkhard Heim, from the 1950s.
Heim’s theory combines quantum mechanics with relativity, suggesting that gravitational and electromagnetic forces can be unified in a 6-dimensional space (6-D).
Furthermore, gravitational forces can transform into electromagnetic forces and vice versa under certain conditions. At that time, the scientific community did not publish Heim’s theory because he could not conduct experiments due to a lack of funding.
Physicists Dresher and Hoiser, along with some colleagues from the United States and Russia, have supported and developed Heim’s theory. They believe that based on the principles of multidimensional space and quantum mechanics, it is possible to create an aircraft capable of traveling at the speed of light while overcoming gravitational forces.
Unlike in Heim’s time, Dresher, Hoiser, and their colleagues now have the support of the Russian Academy of Sciences and have received the annual award from the American Space Institute for their project titled “Future Flight.”
Moving beyond mere theory, the project to construct a time machine is now underway in the United States. Similarly, the Applied Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences is also conducting experiments.
