THE MONOLITHIC CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHT-SAIL.

Book Cover & Preview Text
THE MONOLITHIC CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHT-SAIL goes into a highly mathematically detailed digression on mainly conically shaped negative refractive index light-sails. Accordingly, the sails would experience forwardly oriented pulling on light and matter waves forwardly incident on the sail. Thus, as the light-sail craft approached extremely relativistic velocities, the acceleration of the craft in its own reference frame essentially if unhindered would runaway to infinite values. In a sense, the light-sails considered herein are conjectured to be able to attain extreme Lorentz factors enabled in even greater values in cases where the sails would be fabricated from exotic materials not currently known to Humanity. The reader of this book will have a renewed appreciation of light-sails which are somewhere in the realm of the exotic between rocket propulsion and warp drive and wormhole travel methods which are still very conjectural.
