Abstract

Within the Relativistic Space-Time Domain D0, this paper investigates three "fringe" subjects that are not currently realisable. They are, (i) time travel, (ii) the conversion of matter into useable energy, and (iii) spatial travel at the velocity of light, (or more correctly, the terminal velocity of D0).

1  Introduction.

The three subjects of this paper have, over the last hundred years or so, largely been the prerogative of science fiction writers. Latterly however, they have begun to command the attention of serious scientific investigation, albeit on the fringes of mainstream relativity research. Accordingly, it is of some interest to determine whether the activities contained in these subjects are theoretically realisable within the Relativistic Space-Time Domain, D0, (Pseudo-Euclidean Space-Time), as defined in this series of papers.

These three subjects, time travel, matter to energy conversion and travel at the terminal velocity of D0, ( ~ the velocity of light), are all very closely related and governed by the application of artificial temporal forces.

It is important to note that the applicable analyses here are based upon the definition of time as detailed in [2], and this definition should be thoroughly understood prior to reading this paper.

In the interests of brevity, unless necessary for complete clarity, a parameter will only be defined in this paper if it has not previously been so in either [1] or [2] with which familiarity is assumed.
