“We are now at a cusp of human history,” notes Beckwith, “equivalent to the discovery of fire, hundreds of thousands of years ago, and for a very unexpected reason. For the first time in human history, we are at the point where an analysis of false to true vacuum transitions, the entire nexus of symmetry breaking and the formation of mass in the early universe is enabling scientists and technologists the foundations of space time geometry. This could lead to within 50 years to developing appropriate technology for star travel and to genuine space ship ventures to the neighboring solar systems. At stake is to understand what closer to the idea of an interstellar ram jet, similar to Bussard ram jet with tweaking will work.” - Dr. Andrew W.
