Breakthrough Propulsion Research

These works investigate two approaches to a breakthrough in propellantless propulsion. One is inertial induction, the exchange of momentum with the distant universe, within the framework of the known laws of gravity. The other is coupling of electromagnetism and gravity in the Kaluza theory, the only unified field theory to include general relativity.
