Wait a minute just got an idea if one could entangle different wavelengths of light one might possibly modulate entanglement so that stray photons could be used for communication as long as the photons matched the modulation the modulation could be used to decode the signal. Probably a stupid idea.

Mazulu, I don't think an LED television or any other array of LED's will do the trick no matter how many pixels it has or the wavelengths the use.
This is exactly why I came up with the shift photon emitter idea as a way to curve space-time (and/or curve hyperspace). Redshift (photon frequency shift) and gravity are definitely related. We know that gravity causes light to frequency shift. If it works the other way then there is a lot to gain.
The shift photon originated as an ad hoc way to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity. After all, the photon is a common particle in QM (the only particle with energy E ~ frequency. Gravity (general relativity) includes gravitational redshift and gravitational time dilation. The common theme between QM and GR was that frequency shift, h(f_f - f_i) equals a change in gravitational potential energy.
Thus it makes sense to perform experiments by synthesizing shift photons to see if they give you back a gravitational potential.

The only reason I mentioned entanglement of light @ different wavelengths is because if 1 frame exists where all events happen @ the same time then entangling coherent (LASER) light @ different wavelengths so so that all frames are entangled could produce the warped effect you want to achieve.
I seriously think this is impossible. Moire likely that you just make a hot spot on a piece of paper.
I agree that shift photons should be made, as an experiment, by entangling several photons of different frequencies (in increasing or decreasing order) to see if that results in a gravity field.

I've known all along that gravity causes photons to frequency shift. I know that doing this in reverse must sound crazy. But how can you be so sure that nature has a good reason for restricting it? Shift photons that result in acceleration forces do not cause a paradox. At worst, they create a problem for conservation of energy.
A shift in frequency from f_i to f_f should have a corresponding shift in energy,
Delta E = h(f_f - f_i). This shift in frequency will be caused by a gravitational potential Delta Phi.
It just looks reasonable to me that if you synthesize a wide enough frequency shift with enough frequency steps, that you will start to probe a vulnerability within the laws of physics themselves.

The unification between GR and QM remains illusive. But if you look at the constants involved, here is what you find.
Quantum mechanics constants: Planck constant h, speed of light c, coulombic charge q.
General Relativity constants: Gravitational constant G, speed of light c, Cosmological constant lambda...
QM and GR share the constant, c, the speed of light. Light is important in both quantum mechanics and relativity. There are many reasons to believe that light plays a central role in the laws of phyiscs.
The space-time continuum is obliged to obey the speed limit, the speed of light, even if that means producing time dilation and length contract effects.
The laws of physics and the space-time continuum are preoccupied with light. The rules and the infrastructure of nature are obedient to: light.
So what is the relationship between light and gravity? If we wanted to get gravity, we should do something with light; something that we haven't tried before.

Ed,
Ok, let's say they have a gravity field generator of some kind. They got some experimental results,
"In the experiment with the highest precision to date, Tate et al5,6 reported a disagreement between the theoretically predicted Cooper-pair mass in Niobium of m*/2me = 0.999992 and her experimental value of 1.000084(21), where me is the electron mass."
I'm not sure I understand what it going here? First, the superconductor is spinning (like a helicopter propeller) but the change in weight of the apparatus is very small. How do we know that gravity is being affected at all? How do I know it's not just propeller lift?

This is a positive result albeit tiny of mechanically induced acceleration outside an accelerating device in effect a very small warp field.

Ed,
I'm still skeptical that spinning a superconductor will induce a gravity effect, although I don't blame the experimentalists for trying. I sincerely hope that something profound comes out of it. I would be more impressed if they could aim their apparatus at a jewelery scale witha 100g weight on it. If they could change the weight of the weight by turning on the scale. That was what I had planned to do with my gravity field generator idea, until I got bogged down in cost and complexity.

photons are records of events in time thatis why i pointed out the possibility of communication through modulation of the universal frame or hyperspace or subspace the 1 frame that contains all frames. by entangling multiple not naturally occuring frequencies one could create messages that with the correct cypher transmit data across the universe without the nasty limitation of the speed of light. would probably still have the lag caused by expansion though. phone typing no fun

Mass has nothing to do with inducing curvature in space-time. Energy is what causes curvature in space-time; mass is just a form of energy. This is accepted physics.
In contrast, theoretical gravity field generation physics acknowledges the existence of an aether field, a relativistic light bearing field that exists between all particles of matter called the space-time continuum. We already know that large quantities of mass-energy will cause a pseudo-symmetric image called gravity. But this relativistic aether field is not perfect, it is not absolute. This relativistic aether field can be made to act contrary to the Einstein equations; it can be made to induce strong gravity fields without black holes. The space-time continuum is not perfect, it is not absolute. Shift photons are its vulnerability.

Ed,
For purposes of determining what causes gravity, from either the Einstein equations or Newton's laws of gravity, mass and energy are interchangeable because E=mc^2. Obviously, energy in the form of light isn't going to just sit there on your scale while you measure its "mass".
If you doubt me when I tell you that energy in the form of electromagnetic energy also causes gravity, then ask around. Maybe someone else can give you an explanation more to your liking.

Thank you waitedavid. I hope your explanation satisfies Ed.
Anyway, this thread is about warp drive physics and opto-electronic gravity field generators. The mathematics of Ricci curvature might tell you how space-time behaves, how it curves in the presence of mass-energy/stress energy tensor. But physicists have hampered their ability to make progress towards advanced physics by abandoning the light bearing aether.
The light bearing aether has both relativistic and quantum wave features. The mono-frequency photons is a familiar resident of the space-time continuum (relativistic aether); photons are carriers of electromagnetic energy. But what causes gravity? Gravitons are carriers of gravity, but have never been observed. Why? Because they look like neither particles nor waves. I think this is the mechanism.
Graviton + shift-photon ---> nothing...
Shift photons cancel gravitons. When gravitons are cancelled, it causes a gravitational imbalance. When properly engineered, a shift photon drive can cancel gravitons all around it to the effect of producing propulsion.
Gravitons may be the negative energy necessary to produce gravitational curvature.
I look forward to comments.

Shift photons annihilate gravitons in a reaction that should probably look like:
graviton + shift photon --->
n photons each with increasing frequency + acceleration field.
If I wanted to make a shift photon out of 4 frequencies: 450THz, 550THz, 650THz and 750THz, I would need a train of each frequency with an integer number of cycles. The next frequency, 550THz, has to begin at the same phase that the previous frequency, 450THz finishes at. The more the phases line up, the higher quality shift photon it will be.
When a shift photon annihilates a graviton, you get back all of the individual photons, but their phases are randomized. You also get a brief acceleration field. Loss of phase information is the price you pay for annihilating a graviton.
Anyway, this is the foundation of warp drive theory. You need high quality shift photons to annihilate gravitons. Averaged out, you get a curvature in space-time that you can use for propulsion.

So shift photons annihilate gravitons. Generating higher yield shift photons is an engineering challenge. It involves controlling a wide range of electromagnetic frequencies, down to the cycle and the phase. Spitting out 2 or 3 cycles of 400THz, followed by 405THz for 2 or 3 cycles AND getting their phases to overlap is a very tough engineering challenge. But what did you expect the unification of GR and quantum mechanics to be about? 10 dimensional super-string engineering? Fantasize all you like, but unification of GR and QM is about manipulating gravity with quantum particles; the most likely contender is light.
The question then becomes: what kind of shift photon characteristics do you need to annihilate a graviton?
-How wide of a frequency shift?
-What is the minimum number of frequencies that you need to construct a shift photon?
-Do their phases have to line up?
-How short do they have to be to be effective? A shift photon that is one light second long, about 300,000km is going to be too dispersed to be effective.
You folks should be delighted that you get a sneak preview of what physics and engineering are going to look like in coming centuries. Anti-gravity, artificial gravity, megalithic construction, tractor beams and the superluminal drive are all coming in the next several centuries.

At least wiki has defined the problem for you. One of the problems is that you don't have a method to create a warp bubble. You all need to spend some time thinking about that.
You need a "method" to curve space-time. Can anyone in the physics community come up with a method?

Maybe a majority of people are not familiar enough with physics to be able to appreciate the physics behind warp drive theory. I did the best I could to come up with a theory without having access to a real warp drive engine. Gravitational redshift frequency shifts light. The best I could come up with is that transmitting shift photons, with careful attention to the phase of each constinuent frequency, might give you back a gravitational acceleration. The idea that shift photons cancel gravitons at least sounds plausible. If I can't actually build the experiment, at least I can give you a method.
I doubt you will find any better ideas out there to explain warp drives and gravity drives.

It's all about high performance electromagnetic frequency and phase control. When a photon falls into a gravity well (of a black hole), its frequency will change, it will blueshift along the radii with an unbroken changing frequency and changing phase. In other words, if the photon falls along the axis r (radii), then you can write the phase and frequency as a function of r:
phase theta ( r) = ...
frequency f( r) = d/dt[theta( r)].
IN REVERSE...
If you want to get back a gravity field, you have to synthesize and emit a continuous, unbroken waveform with a changing frequency. You can't do this with light bulbs. You probably have to use lasers, light emitting diodes, and very high performance electronics.
It's not about, as the woo woo people would say: twinkling lights. It's about high performance frequency and phase control.

The photon is the energy solution to the Schrodinger equation, which is a wave-function. Photons have wave functions.
Gravitational redshift changes the photon's frequency. That means that gravity changes the photon's wave-function.
Wave functions are defined as continuous functions. Since gravity interacts with the photon's wave-function as a shift in frequency, ...
...and the wave-function is continuous...
...then the emission of a continuous wave-function of a frequency shifted photon will result in a gravity field...
Translation: A graviton frequency shifts the photon's wave-function. Reproduce the frequency shift photon and you get back a graviton. This is how a gravity drive works.
Just to see if you're paying attention; this is why flying saucers are real.

The wave-function, I strongly believe, is a real phenomena; the Schrodinger differential equation is the math that describes it.
The wave function of the photon is frequency shifted by gravity (a graviton).
What happens if you synthesize a frequency shifted photon (with attention to phase)?
You should get back a graviton.

Maybe a majority of people are not familiar enough with physics to be able to appreciate the physics behind warp drive theory. I did the best I could to come up with a theory without having access to a real warp drive engine. Gravitational redshift frequency shifts light. The best I could come up with is that transmitting shift photons, with careful attention to the phase of each constinuent frequency, might give you back a gravitational acceleration. The idea that shift photons cancel gravitons at least sounds plausible. If I can't actually build the experiment, at least I can give you a method.
I doubt you will find any better ideas out there to explain warp drives and gravity drives.

You are right that gravitons are not known to exist. Space-time curvature is used to explain gravity. Physicists argue that the space-time continuum has laid down absolute laws for us to obey (Einstein equations), yet itself doesn't exists and is nothingness. As brucep would say, that's bullshit. The space-time continuum does exist, it does have properties, and it is something that we can eventually learn to manipulate. I referred to graviton-shift photon annihilation just to emphasize to you that the space-time continuum can be manipulated.
You said: pick two. I pick:
1. Causality is absolute.
2. FTL is possible.
Yes relativity is correct. However, in order for a hyperdrive to exist, your starship has to divorce itself from the space-time continuum that includes the universe.
Your spaceship exists in space-time A.
The universe exists in space-time B.
Space-time A and B are always cojoined, attached, interconnected. A hyperdrive has to rip A away from B. When this occurs, the spaceship becomes an object in hyperspace. Hyperspace is a lot like the space-time continuum, except that it's own speed of light is c' >> c. A hyperdrive rips the spaceship out of the space-time continuum. The spaceship becomes an object in hyperspace where the speed of hyperspace light is c' >> c.
When space-time A is separated from space-time B, you can beat relativity without violating causality.

I think it would be useful to define what space is before we try to bend it as far as i know its nothing so it would be hard to bend nothing the same thing when physicists say space is expanding. You cant expand nothing the same as it has no mass no time and doesn't react with matter in any way expect for the negative force it exerts.
There is a similar affect in nature that is well known called osmoses and works by equalization. It is used by plants to absorb water and nutrients from the earth.
Im not sure warp drive is possible because the standard model is based on speed of light witch hasn't been proven to be a constant yet.
Just because the math says speed of light isn't possible doesn't make it so either.
The proof for that is the fact that nobody has written the perfect computer program that simulates reality.

You're right, physics is a contradiction.
I have a general idea of what space-time really is, but I would be at a loss as to how to define it formally, mathematically. The best I can do is to tell you that it's made out of wave functions. Since wave-functions, as a physical phenomena, have never been proved to exist, then we're kinda stuck.
Warp drive can exist if a piece of space-time (the part that contains your ship) can be removed from the space-time that contains the universe. Then, that piece of space-time can behave like a hyperspace object, and move faster than c.
I wish I could prove to you, to everyone, that hyperspace and gravity drives exist. I have given you all a general idea of what kind of experiments you have to run. You have to generate shift photons to see if they really do manipulate space-time. But it's expensive research and it is technically very difficult. If it were easy, I would do the test myself.
Attitudes have to change in the physics community before warp drive research can happen. There is a strong unwillingness to think beyond what has been experimentally verified. We can't go faster than the speed of light because of the mantra, Nothing can go faster than the speed of light!
Nothing can go faster than the speed of light!

Mazulu, I think you really believe what you say. Unfortunately your understanding is incorrect.
Light does not warp space.
Light does not have mass if it did it could not travel at the speed of light.
This may confound you but Light does not move in time it is at rest.
Light exists in the time frame it was created.
The only reason you are able to detect it at all is be cause your mass happens to intersect with the event horizon of the time frame that emitted the light and the wave function of the particles in your measurement device happen to be tuned to the RELATIVE frequency or frequencies (resonant energy) that happen to be present when the horizon of the time frame of the event that emitted the light crosses your path.
By relative I mean weather you and your detection device are traveling toward or away from the event, the local mass density of the emitter and the local mass density where you happen to be when the event horizon of the event cross your path.
by local mass density I mean gravitational influence.
Light Does NOT cause gravity.
Light cannot cause gravity not with current technology anyway.
In certain special cases Light Gamma rays created in certain matter antimatter collisions can decay into electrons and Positrons (anti electrons) which have mass.
How many electrons/Positrons @ what density do you need to create a 1G warp field? I bet it is a hell of a lot more dense and numerous than you could ever hope to muster in your wildest dreams to achieve without copious amounts of antimatter.
So you need an attowatt^18 gamma ray laser powered by copious amounts of antimatter. And yes that is a PROMA number so don't give me crap about it more figurative than literal. You want to figure it out go ahead.
mass of earth 5.9742 × 1024 kilograms
Volume of earth 1.08321×10 12 km 3
electron mass = 9.10938188 × 10-31 kilograms
just remember you have to the a number of electrons with the same mass as the earth into a volume the size of the earth or less.
Good luck with that.

You're just gonna have to run the experiments to find out if shift photons will generate gravity. Remember that the benefit exceeds the cost (if it works).
Think of the Poynting vector. Think about the frequency of electromagnetic light. You have to generate light that changes frequency, Delta f, inside of a very short time period (<100ms) Delta t. However you generate it, try not to break phase. Make Delta f as large as possible, Delta t as small as possible.

Warped space time frequency shifts light. It is reasonable to perform experiments with shift photons to see if it could work in reverse. That is, if you're seeking warp drive/gravity drive physics.

I keep hearing physicists fret that if you could travel faster than light speed, you could go somewhere and come back before you ever left. Physicists believe that you jump to hyperspace traveling 1000c, visit the Jupiter cafe at Jupiter, come back to where you started, and then play a game of checkers with yourself until your other self has to depart; of course, failure of your other self to depart would result in a paradox.
Does everyone know what I'm talking about?
Can you guess where the physics community made a mistake in their reasoning?
When you jumped into hyperspace to go to Jupiter, you left space-time. Thus, relativity no longer applies. As long as your velocity in hyperspace is much smaller than the velocity of hyper-light, c', in hyperspace (i.e. v<<c'), time runs normally.

Howdy.
"it would appear". There is the flaw in your argument that it would violate causality. The image is not the actual ship. Example, the image of you falling into a black hole would be frozen at the event horizon and eventually fade away. Your body would have been long gone past its "apparently" frozen or fading image at the event horizon. If the ship moves, it's image is it's "apparent" history, not its actual present position. It doesn't matter what an observer sees based on light, it's only the actual interaction with the ship that will effectively determine causality. The ship can come and go and even pass through the light image of it's past positions without "violating causality" in any way. Think of it as your light image going to a mirror far away and you then moving towards the mirror while the light goes to the mirror and is reflected back towards your new position. Just because your mirror image reflection is out there somewhere and you move through it again as it intersects with your body's new position, it doesn't constrain or violate your actual body's causal history at all. Only its image history is intersected, and that is dependent only on light image information about your body, and not your body itself. No causal violation involved there.

The ships frame, inside the warp geometry, is an inertial rest frame. For instance: our warp ship is in free fall orbiting the Earth at the same r_orbit as the International Space Station. The warp ship and ISST clocks are synced. Our ship goes into warp. During warp the ship and ISST clocks tick at the same rate and remain synced. The relative speed between the frames is 0 while both were orbiting and remain 0 during the warp. What changes is the local geometry of spacetime, around the ship, creating the warp. In my opinion: we have the most knowledgeable person on GR warp physics and the problems associated with it posting in this forum. That would be David [waitedavid137]. On the 'associated problems' David determined the warp CAN be turned off from the ship, how the warp shields the ship, and a possible way to reduce the 'exotic', negative energy, requirement.

The problem is that we still have no feasible way to manipulate the local geometry of spacetime without huge quantities of mass. The only method that seems open to me is if we could figure out how to manipulate the relationship between mass, gravitation and inertia.

Read your link. When you convert to geometric units it should become clear that c^4 and G are a function of the units used when writing down the EFE. Specifically conventional units. Since light is a form of energy then it does contribute to the right side of the EFE.
