Can Tic Tacs Fly?

Insight

Written by Condorman - 24 June 2023

Insight from a senior level aerospace engineer.

I recently described a hypothesis about how spheres could fly using the Meissner effect to push against Earth’s magnetic field. With this technology, a sphere could stop, hover, and accelerate in a different direction, mimicking some of the descriptions of UAP.

Next on my list was to devise a hypothesis for how the most enigmatic of all UAP, the Tic Tac, could fly and perform those incredible maneuvers. If I could tackle the Tic Tac, then everything else would fall into place.

I quickly rejected the Meissner effect as a possible solution in this case. The Tic Tac was witnessed performing maneuvers such as such as dropping from 80,000 ft to sea level in under one second and disappearing from Commander Fravor’s line of sight as if shot from a rifle and then appearing at the CAP point 60 miles away seconds later. That incredible acceleration and deceleration requires prodigious power and structural rigor or some other method of exotic propulsion that the Meissner effect cannot provide.

I started with the usual culprits, Alcubierre drives, zero-point energy, and even looked at the Pais effect all over again, but none of these seemed like it would lead me to an answer. I discussed the dilemma with a mentor and he pointed me to a paper written by Robert Forward in 1990 titled ‘Negative Matter Propulsion.’ Before diving too far into the concept, I am going to review what negative matter is.

Negative matter is a proposed solution for dark energy. The gravitational field of an object made of positive matter causes all other objects, including those made of negative matter, to move towards it. The gravitational field of an object made of negative matter would have the reverse effect, thus it would cause all other objects, made of both positive and negative matter, to move away from it. This reverse gravity property is proposed as the origin of dark energy as clumps of negative matter, held together by electric charges, would push all other matter away and lead to the expanding universe.

But why doesn’t negative matter push itself away as well? Because charged negative matter would attract itself strongly in orders of magnitude stronger than gravity. The electrostatic force is 1036 times stronger than gravity. With negative matter, opposite poles repel and equal poles attract. So positively charged (or vice versa) negative matter would clump together and push positive matter away.

In 2017 scientists at Washington State University created a fluid with negative mass by cooling rubidium atoms to just a small fraction of a degree above absolute zero. This implies there is a good possibility negative matter exists and can be engineered. And negative matter is the key concept in Robert Forward’s paper. He proposed a craft housing equal amounts of negative and positive matter. The gravity fields would cancel each other out so the craft would have zero mass. The negative mass would push the positive mass away from it, and the positive mass would pull the negative mass towards it, thus the masses would chase each other in a perpetual acceleration until reaching the speed of light. See the illustration below.

While intriguing, this construct does not achieve a flyable craft. It cannot stop or maneuver and will be buffeted by simple winds since it has no mass or inertia. But the concept is a good starting point.

The first step is to stop the perpetual acceleration by simply putting half the negative mass on each side of the positive mass as illustrated below. This change leads to a massless craft that has no acceleration and will still be impacted by any external stimuli. But it provides a working concept for a craft with zero mass and zero inertia.

In this next section I will use this working concept and attempt to engineer it into an operational Tic Tac.

Negative Matter Manipulation:

Negative matter is not solid in the way that positive matter is. What makes positive matter solid is the Pauli exclusion principle that stops electrons from passing through other electrons in the same energy state. Negative matter, whatever it is, is not going to have electrons, protons, and neutrons in the same state as positive matter so there will be no exclusion principle. Negative matter will have to be held and manipulated inside electromagnetic fields, much like hot plasma is held in electromagnetic fields in nuclear fusion reactor prototypes such as tokamaks.

I envision the negative matter to be held and manipulated in a donut-shaped toroidal field, likely electromagnetic. This field would have the ability to be granularized into small sections, so that different electrostatic charges could be applied thought the donut-shaped artifact for propulsion. Going forward, I will refer to these as toroids. A sample of a granular toroid is illustrated below.

Electrostatic Propulsion:

Since the negative and positive matter are positioned so the craft has zero mass and inertia and no acceleration, a method of propulsion, stability, and control is necessary. The strong attraction and repulsion of electrostatic charges by negative matter, along with the ability to selectively charge small granular sections of the toroid with varying levels of electric charge, provides a possible solution.

The attraction and repulsion between charges is measured using Coulomb's Law, though adjustments will likely have to be made for negative matter. As I mentioned earlier, in negative matter like charges attract (positive attracts positive and negative attracts negative) and opposite charges repel. By charging separate sections of the toroids to attract or repel each other, the craft can pitch, yaw, accelerate, stop, and hover. Here are some examples: 

To pitch up, the top section of the rear toroid would be strongly charged positive, and the bottom section would be weakly charged negative. The top and the bottom sections would repel each other but the top would push the bottom down because it has the stronger charge. The front toroid would strongly charge the bottom section and weakly charge the top section, resulting in an upward push.

The combination would lead to upward pitch. You could reverse the charges on the plates from bottom to top and top to bottom for downward pitch. And the same would apply to yaw by charging the sides of the toroids instead.

Forward acceleration would use a similar principle by charging the left and right sides of the toroids. And deceleration and stopping would be the reverse of acceleration.

Overall stability and control while hovering or moving would use a combination of charges across the toroids depending on what the external forces are.

Hypersonic Flight Without Sonic Booms:

During the encounter with Commander Fravor, the Tic Tac strongly accelerated and disappeared from sight as well as from radar. It was picked up on radar a few seconds later at the CAP point but not while it traveled there. And no sonic booms were observed during any of the encounters. This can be explained using one of the properties of negative matter.

In general relativity, a moving negative mass causes parallel space-time geodesic lines to diverge. The effect is similar to what would be seen in a wormhole. With a strong-enough acceleration, the geodesic lines would diverge enough to allow the Tic Tac to fly through a tunnel in space-time devoid of air or whatever occupied the medium it was traveling through.

Traveling through such a tunnel would avoid all friction since there is no air to push through and would negate any sonic booms and frictional heating of the surface even at high hypersonic speed.

Appendages at the Bottom of the Tic Tac:

The bent appendages at the bottom of the Tic Tac actually solve a problem with the electrostatic propulsion method described above. To quickly change the electrostatic charge on the different sections of the toroids as needed for maneuvering, stability and control, the previous charge needs to be dissipated quickly and away from the craft.

All modern aircraft use backward pointing static dischargers to dissipate static charge built up by air friction. In the Tic-Tac, the backward pointing appendages perform the same role, except they discharge the charges on the toroids so fresh charges can be applied.

Bringing It All Together:

Putting all the pieces together leads to a very high-level proposal for an operational Tic Tac. The craft employs negative matter enclosed in toroidal fields at both ends. The amount of negative matter would be equal to the amount of positive matter in the craft, including the payload and the structure itself. Thus, the craft would have zero mass and zero inertia.

The craft would be propelled and controlled via electric charges on sections of the negative mass used to repel or attract, depending on the intended movement. These charges are dissipated away from the craft via the static discharger appendages at the bottom. And with sufficient acceleration, the negative mass causes a divergence in the space-time geodesic lines, leading to the creation of a tunnel outside space-time, where it can travel free of air pressure and friction.

This illustration combines all the concepts together along with a payload module in the center.

A craft such as this would be capable of transmedium travel in space, air, and water. It would need a powerful generator to produce the electric charges. And it would require a very fast computer (internal or external), perhaps AI, to quickly distribute the necessary charges to maintain stability and control while hovering or in motion.

Commander Fravor also described a crease around the Tic Tac’s centerline to Stephen Justice. The crease may be an antenna for the internal sensors and also an aid to reduce water friction when the craft begins to accelerate underwater.

Finally, the negative matter toroids are applicable to other shapes. The Gimbal and triangle UAP likely use toroids as well. Gimbal has a pointed bottom that can be used as a static discharger for a toroid, and the triangles have three sharp points for up to three toroid static dischargers.
