As shown on this slide, the
change in the stress of vacuum due to a potential tapers off to
infinity. Its magnitude normally does not reduce to zero until infinity.
Some types of potentials reduce much faster or slower than others,
however, and so -- at some distance away from a common origin of the
potentials, one or more may be neglected in its (their) overall effects
on an experiment or system.
Also, the speed of propagation of potential is highly dependent upon
(1) what type
of virtual particle or particles produce its stress
(2) its
magnitude
(3) its
composition
(4) the
presence or absence of coupling objects and other interacting
potentials
Fundamental observable
particles are like little spray pumps and little vacuum cleaners at the
same time.
Each is emitting virtual particles into the vacuum in a spray or flux,
and at the same time it is absorbing virtual particles from the vacuum
spray or flux. It's a little dynamo, and nature furnishes its driving
energy unceasingly.
However, each little virtual particle it emits is itself such a little
simultaneous pump and vacuum cleaner. That is, it's also emitting an
even finer (and faster) flux of smaller virtual particles, and at the
same time it's also absorbing flux at this time finer level.
"Bigger fleas have smaller fleas to bite em;
And so on ad infinitum".
We may consider the vacuum to be made of an infinite number of virtual
state layers or levels.
It is not too difficult to show that each of these successively deeper,
nested "layers" of virtual state corresponds to a successively higher
dimension being added to our 4-space basic spacetime. So hyperdimensions
and deeper levels of virtual state are one and the same thing.
The basic "speed" of the first layer is c, the speed of light.
The basic "speed" of the second layer is c2.
And so on.
This is interesting. We may directly engineer the virtual state by means
of the vector zero (scalar electromagnetics) approach. By nesting vector
zeros inside other vector zeros, we may directly engineer the deeper
layers of virtual state, and consequently hyperdimensions.
Scalar electromagnetics thus is virtual state engineering and
hyperspatial engineering at one and the same time.
Superluminal communications systems, hyperspace drive, and
materialization and dematerialization are all hypothetically possible,
using scalar electromagnetics. As the technology develops, we should see
the development of many of the systems long thought impossible except in
science fiction.
