Research Interests

Dr. Wanser's research interests include fiber optic sensing techniques as well as other areas of basic and applied optics. He also has interests in experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics, and basic theories of matter. In the past few years he has carried out major revisions of our upper-division laboratory courses (PHYS481 and PHYS482) to introduce students to state-of-the-art experimental techniques in fiber optics, automated data acquisition and analysis, and sensor technology. His work on the PHYS481 course was funded by a National Science Foundation Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement Grant. His research work has been funded by a number of grants from government agencies and private corporations. Several of Dr. Wanser's publications have included undergraduate student coauthors.




What is preventing all these imagined effects and devices, especially FTL travel from becoming reality in the foreseeable future? The main thing is the so called “stiffness” of space time. i.e. in order to make significant deformations in the curvature of space-time, for example to form a wormhole, which is a bridge in space time to other locations, significant amounts of exotic matter are currently required. By exotic matter, we mean not just ordinary matter, but matter with “negative mass”, something that is a theoretical concept but has never been made. By significant, we mean the size of a Jupiter mass object, which is about 318 times the mass of the earth. Obviously, this is not a possible way of going about making a “portal” thru space and time or a warp drive.

 

What if some of this science fiction and imaginative physics of General Relativity could become science Fact? That is precisely what Jack Sarfatti and Keith Wanser are working on. Warp drive “engines” (including FTL/faster than light vehicles), white hole force shields, anti-gravity suits, tractor beams, etc. All could become more than academic subjects if the Sarfatti-Wanser scalar hypothesis is true, for then it should become possible to deform space-time with orders of magnitude smaller amounts of mass energy, and also to produce tunable, controllable amounts of negative mass.

 

What is being proposed is far more ambitious, with much more significant and down to earth consequences, public interest, and benefits, than anything that has ever been done by humanity in all of history. Including the atomic bomb and nuclear power. 

 

The first and most important milestone will be demonstrating large effects associated with the Sarfatti-Wanser scalar modification to Einstein’s equations of General Relativity in matter, here we mean large effects when the fractional change in the metric tensor elements is not small and becomes of order ~1. That is when there are large deformations in space and time according to General Relativity, and that is when all kinds of interesting possiblities emerge –

 

These possibilities include:

 

“Warp” drives which do not require rocket type engine thrust, modifications to Newtonian concepts of inertia and acceleration, as well as large deformations in space, such as “warping” of space.

 

Spacecraft that can eventually travel faster than light, with the nearer term goal being sub light speed warp drive that can be used in earth’s atmosphere or in space.

 

Space and earthbound vehicles that can have sudden, large, apparent direction and speed changes without exerting (excessive) g forces on the occupants of the crafts or the vehicle structure.

 

“White hole” force shields which allow for energy beams and other weapons to be launched from the craft, while defending against all incoming threats and not allowing them to penetrate. This would also allow for the eventual possibility of deploying defensive shields against incoming nuclear weapons, making many of the modern weapons of warfare obsolete. There are many other, non-military applications of such a technology.  This by itself is a laudable goal of the research that would have immense benefits to humanity.

 

A corollary of such devices is that they may be capable of making sudden and rapid transitions from atmosphere to bodies of water, like the ocean or lakes, without causing damage to the craft or exerting sudden shock g-forces on the people and devices inside the warp field or warp bubble.

 

Key to this effort will be the initial proof of principle experiments that demonstrate the existence of the proposed, Sarfatti-Wanser scalar effect. The predicted effects require the development of a very large refractive index (n ~ 30,000 estimated) material in order to do effective space-time “metric engineering”. Which means engineering and modifying the local curvature of space inside the material surrounding the craft. Several basic condensed matter/quantum physics and materials engineering problems will have to be solved in order to make such devices possible, much less practical.
