Norwegian professor offers a theory of rockets reaching 99.999% of the speed of light, taking Mars 3 minutes 4 seconds

Is this the future of space travel?

Our imagination is infinite and theoretical physics is one of the things that we apply the most " infinite imagination " into. We quickly discover the hidden corners of the Universe with the mind itself, then patiently wait until the technology catches up with the ideas we think of.

And once the imagination has no limits, what reason do I not dream big? A Norwegian professor said that in theory, photon-based missile systems could reach 99.999% of the speed of light - ie 300,000 km / s or 186,000 miles / h. At that rate, we will turn the one-way journey to Mars into a trip that lasts only 3 minutes 4 seconds.

His scientific research indicates that although humans cannot yet do so, the potential for us to build is entirely possible. We will reach that speed limit when the technology is mature.

The scientist is Espen Gaarder Haug , from the University of Life Sciences in Norway. He also believed that mathematics in contemporary physics was not so different from mathematics in quantitative finance.

Quantitative finance is an intensive course in financial analysis including: structural finance, financial model, securities, risk management, financial analysis, and portfolio management. The focus of this program is to solve the problem in the financial quantitative area, with further emphasis on complex risk and securities management.

And the unusual view of these two different mathematical things brought him to predictions about the photon missile system approaching near the realm of velocity. In his scientific paper, he proposed mathematical operations to show how a rocket could approach the speed of light, making the most of the power of photons to provide energy. to push.

Such a photon rocket will make the dream of traveling to the far reaches of the universe become closer. Before the eyes of men, a mysterious Universe worth exploring is wide open.

Mr. Haug told Forbes magazine that when the elementary particle (or elementary particle, the particles include quark, lepton - electron, positron, neutrino ., boson and photon) can move quickly. more than the speed of light, then his dream rocket " will also reach the speed limit obtained by a missile ".

However, he also made it clear that we are far from this destination. With current technology, we cannot create a rocket of photons that can bring people and goods into space.

But the idea of ​​using whatever fuel can be converted into light energy (photons) sounds very promising. At that time, we will need a larger particle accelerator than the European Large Grain Accelerator. We wait for future scientists to design a Larger Particle Accelerator (eternal reason: poorly named scientists) or the Giant Particle Accelerator, realizing the ultimate dream. Serving the Universe of people from eternity.
