Benjamin Thomas Solomon

Solomon started his research into gravity modification in 1999 in Colorado, because it was so obvious that we were not going to the planets or to the stars any time soon with our current technologies, and our current budgets.

His primary objective was to develop the technology to make a round trip to Alpha Centauri within out lifetime, i.e. by 2025/2035 latest. Impossible? Read on.

In 2007, he discovered the massless equation for gravitational acceleration g=(tau).c^2, and Non Inertia (Ni) fields, that unifiy gravitational, electromagnetic & mechnaical forces, and therefore the new propulsion force field equation. His results are consistent with the Special Theory of Relativity. As of 2012 Quantum Mechanics that is theoretically much more sophisticated, has not done this. That is g=(tau).c^2 is a major find. Read the book to figure out how this was discovered when 1,000s of others could not.

Solomon has published severals papers on this subject at the space/physics conference SPESIF (Space, Propulsion & Energy Sciences, International Forum, 2009, 2010 & 2011) and a ground breaking paper in the AIP (American Institute of Physics) journal, Physics Essays in 2011. And a paper "Non_Gaussian Radiation Shielding" at the first 100 Year Starship Symposium, 2011.

So we are a significant step closer to interstellar travel. At least in theory interplanetary travel that is on the order of magnitude of hours is now feasible. (Rockets require anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.)

But change is necessary. The contemprorary physics community says that this is impossible, even though the formulae and experiments are there for them to prove or disprove! But wait, there is one problem they have not addressed. The FTL Neutrino experiments showed us again, that nothing can travel faster than light, i.e. the Lorentz-Fitzgerald transformations still hold. Then how come electromagnetic spectrum photons travelling at the velocity of light have a wave function that is not zero length? Answer in the book.

In 2012 Solomon started the LinkedIn group "Interstellar Travel & Gravity Modification", to change our perception on the feasibility of gravity modification & interstellar travel, to pull together science, engineering & technology professionals who want to make this a reality in our lifetimes.

His web site is http://www.iseti.us/ and blog http://iseti.wordpress.com/ which he uses to debunk many contemprory 'thoughts' on the impossibility of interstellar travel. He does hope these nay sayer don't get fund as that would be an incredible waste of the limited funds we have.

In his blog he also pointed out that the major funding agencies in this country, DARPA, NSF, NASA, AFRL & NRL do not have a category for this type of research in their BAAs. Amazing!

Anyone who has read his 12-year study, titled "An Introduction to Gravity Modification, Second Edition" will agree that this work is a major triumph for a lone researcher over big science. Major triumph.
