ABSTRACT: Building on the various manifestations of the forces latent in the quantum
vacuum of spacetime such as Hawking’s radiation and Unruh temperature, we
resolve a major paradox connected to an immensely important proposal by
NASA scientists for constructing a practically fuelless spacecraft. In a nutshell,
preliminary laboratory work shows that NASA’s electromagnetic drive project
is viable and several experiments and measurements show it is real. Yet the
proposal violates a fundamental principle of classical mechanics, namely
Newton’s third law. The resolution of this paradox is quite straight forward in
principle. It is simply the case that although the proposal seems to be based on
classical mechanics and classical thinking it is only superficially so. Deep at
the roots, the EM drive proposal of NASA is not classical physics but rather
based on the vacuum forces of quantum cosmology and the theory of dark
energy density of the universe. In fact the proposal is deeply linked to Hawking’s
radiation and Unruh temperature, which is explained in some detail in
the main body of the present short paper within the frame work of E-infinity
Cantorian spacetime theory and D. Gross’ Heterotic superstring theory. In
short the quintessence of our explanation is to regard the EM drive as a quasi
electromagnetic cavity with an effective event horizon akin to that of a Hawking
black hole emitting radiation causing ultimately the needed thrust to push
the spacecraft forwards. In addition and by invoking fractal spacetime self
similarity we show that a spacecraft will be subject to another cosmic thrust
on the large scale of the entire cosmos.
