Light Speed Space Travel & Acceleration Profiles: A Few Simple Problems & Solutions (Space Energy Invention Update)

One of the spin offs we already know of regarding our space energy invention is in the realm of extremely high speed space flight. You might know by now that our invention greatly transcends what most people believe possible. We do not approach our work from the basis of “modern science” because, as we have previously established, most of that is in some ways wrong and severely limited. In this update is a short summary of some simple math and logical reasoning for what is required for light speed space travel since we already know this will be made possible from our invention.

You Only Consider What You Believe Possible

We are assuming few people have ever thought about the physics problem of accelerating to light speed using what are familiar with by normal rocket acceleration profiles. Most people don’t think light speed travel will ever be possible so, they don’t bother to think through the sorts of factors that we are here. Since we already know that light speed travel will be technologically possible, we’ve done some very simple math to start the process of thinking all this through.

Since we have no space flight experience, we did a little simple online research to find out what typical space launch rocket acceleration profiles might look like. We found that the most common G-force acceleration profiles seems to peak at a maximum of 4 G’s but, most of the time it’s down near 3 G’s at the highest level. Note that the graphical depictions available for these profiles of various rockets are based on several factors including:

  • Solid vs liquid propellant (liquid can be throttled and has been said to give a smoother ride).
  • Air density and aerodynamic resistance which decreases with altitude.
  • Decreasing weight as propellant is burned off leads to greater thrust to weight ratio and higher acceleration rates as the launch progresses from pad to space (for engines that burn combustible fuel).
  • First and second stage propulsion factors (when each stage burns out, acceleration decreases to zero, followed by an increase when the next begins burning).

(Note: our propulsion system will NOT burn solid or liquid fuel as we are used to. It will be an entirely different type of system; therefore, large amounts of heavy fuels will not be used).

Basic Math & Physics For Acceleration Profiles

In our online research, we found several sources which all seemed to point to the same figures. Based on that, we are including the following links which include charts and data for normal rocket launch acceleration profiles:

Using the above references… At an acceleration rate of 3.5 G’s, going from 0 to 186,000 mi / sec would require 14.4 weeks. (3.5 G’s is equal to 34.3 m / sec ^2 or 112.6 ft / sec ^2).

If you are on Elon’s Starship rocket, 14 weeks to Mars might seem fast but don’t forget that once you accelerate to light speed, you must then decelerate back to zero if you actually plan to land on another planet. That would then require another 14 weeks. So now you have 28 weeks of acceleration and deceleration (all at a sustained rate of 3.5 G’s, which is humanly absurd for that length of time).

See link for calculating G-force acceleration rates and times from 0 to light speed…

Human Factors & Spacecraft Survivability

As we are trying to establish here in this update… there are many factors regarding light speed space travel that it seems most scientists have not actually thought through. Yes, from this author’s personal experience, a human can easily sustain 3.5 G’s (or even 9) for a certain period of time but, to do so for 14 weeks straight is ridiculous. We doubt there has been much scientific analysis done by any organization on how long a human can realistically survive under a constant and prolonged period of that level of gravitational force.

But let’s back up a bit here. Who here actually believes that a rocket is going to be built that can accelerate (and then decelerate) for 14 weeks straight using any type of publicly known propulsion system?? Ok – we obviously made our point. This is not going to happen with what we call “modern science and technology”.

Therefore, as we have been trying to establish… multiple cascading problems result from normal rocket acceleration rates which can only be solved by something that is equally met with unbelief by the scientific community: anti-gravity systems.

Simply put, anti-gravity is required in order to cancel the acceleration G-forces at a rate that would bring a spacecraft to light speed within a few minutes or hours. Canceling out gravity means the human passengers would feel nothing and there would be no destructive forces twisting and compressing the spacecraft structure. If you cannot accelerate at near instantaneous rates from 0 to 186,000 mi / sec, you really do not have a serious plan for travel at light speed.

This of course leads to the next problem: you are NOT going to reach light speed (under any acceleration forces) using combustible fuel propulsion systems. That is something we have already referred to many times and for the sake of this article, we will omit that here except to say that what we are talking about does NOT use any such modern day propulsion system.

Light Speed Navigation? A Few More Considerations…

Once you achieve light speed travel, you have another obvious problem: what happens when you encounter a small rock or even an asteroid in your path? This is what satellite designers and the ISS deal with regarding all the massive amounts of large and small space junk floating around the Earth. Simply put, you must have a plan for how your spacecraft will remain intact and functioning in the event you encounter floating objects that are traveling in a different path and speed than you are.

We are, of course, talking about distances from Earth where there are no charts of what is floating around out there. How do you avoid total instant destruction of your spacecraft when you encounter even the smallest rock at the speeds we are dealing with here? Well, either you avoid them (good luck), or you need something that causes them to be moved out of the way. The answer there is: force fields.

How do you see and avoid objects in space when you’re traveling at such speeds? Even a computer is going to have a hard time reacting fast enough since computers function at the same speed that our spacecraft is traveling.

  1. Force fields are the only way to avoid damage from small objects.
  2. Flight path changes are the only way to avoid the larger ones (ie: asteroids, moons, planets).

We have no experience with actual space flight so we have no idea what the reality is for taking these precautions. Either way, it must be factored in.

Follow Us – This Is All Going To Happen

Let’s conclude this update for now by repeating what we said at the top – we already know our invention will lead to light speed travel. That means, we must now be thinking through the problems and solutions to making that happen. As we progress further in the process of getting all this “off the ground”, we will provide more hard factual details regarding how this will work technologically and scientifically.

Blue Cube Rocket is in the business of creating an invention that, as we said, will make science fiction movies become reality. In order to do that, we need to seriously consider the reality factors that will exist when we do accomplish exactly what we’ve said we already know to be true.
