This is an excerpt from Super Cosmos, Jack Sarfatti’s third book in his

Space-Time and Beyond Series.

The editor advises that readers not be put off by Jack Sarfatti’s rather complicated argument. We must all make the efforts these days to stay intellectually alive, so please good Viewers, switch off the TV, buy some books on the subject, and a bottle of aspirins and read all about it!

The term "metric engineering" was coined by Dr. Harold Puthoff. Hal, as he prefers to be called, was a US Naval Officer who then worked for the National Security Agency before going to the Stanford Research Institute where he conducted the famous "Remote Viewing" experiments with Russell Targ testing Uri Geller, Ingo Swann, Pat Price and other psychics in a project paid for by the CIA and Department of Defense Intelligence Agencies.

I first met Hal and Russell at SRI in 1973 and that story is told in my book "Destiny Matrix." Hal has held very high USG security clearances and it is well known that he is obsessed with the UFO mystery. Hal, like his co-worker Bernie Haisch, who is an editor of the Astrophysical Journal, both strongly believe in the physical reality of flying saucers. They, with Jacques Vallee, have been active in UFO groups, including the NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Program, some financed by Laurance Rockefeller and the "Howard Hughes" clone Las Vegas Hotel Tycoon Robert Bigelow who owns Bigelow Aerospace Corporation. Since they take the reality of the flying saucers seriously so do I. The two lines of theoretical physics research that Hal has pursued for several decades now, zero point energy and a polarized vacuum model of gravity, is primarily motivated by the quest to understand how the saucers fly. The alleged reality of such advanced alien technology is clearly of immense importance to US National Security and beyond. The recent development in physics shown in NOVA's "Elegant Universe" with Brian Greene, in Stephen Hawking's

"The Universe in a Nutshell", Michio Kaku's "Hyperspace" and Igor Novikov's "The River of Time" makes time traveling alien interference in our history more probable not less probable. This is all an aspect of "metric engineering" defined as the practical control of space and time warps. I have discussed this in Paramount Pictures DVD Special Collector's Edition of "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" in "Time Travel:

The Art of the Possible" and in Learning Channel's "Ultra-Science: Time Travel." The ultimate form of metric engineering is seen in "Q" in "Star Trek" where a Super Mind is able to warp space-time.

We also need a physics of consciousness to see if that fiction can be realized in fact. British Astronomer Royal, Sir Martin Rees who runs the laboratory where Stephen Hawking works and who is the new Master of Trinity College, Cambridge has added the dimension of "Doomsday WMD" tothe quest for a metric engineering breakthrough in his Chapter 9 of his pessimistic "Our Final Hour" on the "Ice Nine" "rip-in-space" propagating at the speed of light that could literally destroy our universe. We are now at that turning point in our history where, like Mickey Mouse in Walt Disney's "Fantasia" we could, in our incompetence, destroy the entire Universe just as we are now surely destroying Earth's Biosphere. Therefore, any aliens out there with Star Gate Time Travel and Warp Drive Super Technology are already here in order to stop us from killing them as well as ourselves.

The American Christian Fundamentalist Right has a strong belief in Apocalypse Now and there is real danger that this is a self-fulfilling prophecy in a precognitive remote viewing of our future by Saint John in The Bible's "Revelations." All the more reason for me, like Paul Revere, to alert the public to these new developments in physics because only real knowledge can possibly save us and even then there is no guarantee.

What does mainstream physics tell us about the possibility of metric engineering? The relevant parts of mainstream physics for metric engineering are Einstein's general theory of relativity and micro-quantum mechanics including the "More is Different" emergence of "macro-quantum" coherent superfluid order in ground state and vacuum instabilities developed by condensed matter Princeton physicist P.W. Anderson also seen in high-energy physics in the "Higgs mechanism" and in the "inflationary chaotic cosmology of A. Linde consistent with the "parallel universes" nicely described by Max Tegmark in the May 2003 issue of Scientific American.

Let's start with Einstein's gravity field equation of ~ 1915. Einstein viewed pure space-time geometry like the marble in a statue by Michelangelo with gross matter and radiation as "wood." Einstein's equation, in the 21st Century language, is

Space-Time Curvature = - (Stress-Energy Density)/(String Tension)

(1)

Curvature has the physical dimensions of 1/Area, String Tension has Energy/Length and Stress-Enegy Density has Energy/Volume. Simple algebra confirms that this way of writing Einstein's equation is correct dimensionally. The "String Tension" is the basic parameter that Ed Witten of the Princeton Institute of Advanced Study uses in his discussions of "M theory" that unifies the five limiting cases of "super string theory" in which the elementary leptons, quarks and gauge force bosons are "vibrating strings of pure energy" pulsating in the extra space dimensions of "Calabi-Yau" hyperspace. The ordinary matter and radiation on the right hand side of Einstein's equation are open strings whose ends are stuck to 3Dim brane worlds of which our universe is one. You can picture a string as a tiny wormhole whose two ends need not be on the same brane world because only then can you not have equal numbers of particles and antiparticles in the same brane world.

Another equivalent way to look at Einstein's 1915 equation from our post-modern 2003 point of view is as a perfect balance on The Scale of Cosmic Justice peeking through the blindfold. That is, the stress-energy density "tensor" of pure marble geometry is

Stress-Energy Density Tensor of Pure Geometry = (String Tension)(Space-Time Curvature) (2)

Einstein's equation is then like the static equilibrium balance of forces in architecture in which the sum of all the contributions to the stress-energy density tensor add up to a perfect zero! In this simplest of cases

Stress-Energy Density Tensor of Geometry + Stress-Energy Density of Matter etc. = 0 (3)

All physically real objects are either tensors, spinors or twistors in the theory of relativity. This is because the coordinate map is not the physical territory. The form of the laws of physics must be the same locally no matter how the coordinate map is morphed. To this we must add the Einstein Equivalence Principle or EEP which says that even in a curved space-time, we can use the special theory of relativity locally for a special class of LIF observers to describe what is happening to a good approximation. The EEP is only meant to apply in this approximate way and it will break down if one is falling into a black hole singularity of if the microscope magnification is so large that quantum gravity zero point energy density fluctuations in the space-time geometry itself get large. There may also be torsion fields not included in Einstein's 1915 "geometrodynamics" that may require a modification of the EEP. The spinor is a square root of a tensor and the Penrose twistor is a spinor in a complex space-time. The physics of point particles in real space-time when extended to complex and hyper-complex matrix space-time is in reality the physics of extended strings and membranes in real space-time. Hawking's "imaginary time" and its connection to inverse temperature is part of that same story.

The key concept for metric engineering is the Einstein currents! Einstein's field equation is always the statement that the sum of all the stress-energy density tensors when put on the same side of the equation all balance out to exactly zero. We then take a "covariant divergence" of the equation to get the Einstein currents, which are conserved when added together. The covariant divergence depends on something called a "connection field", which tells us how to "parallel transport" tensors and spinors along paths or "histories" in space-time and beyond including the extra dimensions of hyperspace. Every time a gauge force field is added, like a torsion field, there is an additional piece added to this connection field. Einstein's 1915 theory is a degenerate case of the bigger unified field theory just like a circle is a degenerate case of an ellipse. An ellipse has two centers or "foci". When the two foci merge together the ellipse degenerates into a circle. Einstein's 1915 theory in the form of the "Bianchi identities" forbids practical metric engineering because it has an impenetrable barrier completely separating the marble geometric current from the wood matter current.

Both kinds of currents must be able to intermingle to transform into each other in order to have "soft" practical metric engineering of Star Gate Time Travel traversable wormholes and weightless superluminal warp drives using the anti-gravitating exotic vacuum "dark energy" with negative zero point exotic vacuum pressure that is equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign, to the zero point energy density. The new Type Ia super novae data showing that our brane world Universe is accelerating in its rate of expansion, i.e. speeding up rather than slowing down. Indeed approximately 3/4 of all the stuff of our Universe on the large scale is made out of "dark energy."

Therefore, the idea of ancient traversable Star Gate wormholes stabilized by dark energy is not so far fetched. The brute force approach to metric engineering taken by Hal Puthoff now for at least two decades can never work because space-time is too stiff to bend directly with electromagnetic field energy density to do anything worth doing because the string tension is too large. In contrast, we can used the quantum interference of the Einstein stress-energy density currents via the Bohm-Aharonov-Josephson effect for practical metric engineering provided that the pure geometric currents are not separately conserved like they are in Einstein's original theory. One way to do that is to "bottle" or "harness" the "dark energy" as General Douglas Mac Arthur precognitively remote viewed in his "Duty, Honor, Country" Farewell Speech to the Cadets at West Point in 1962 in a speech made even more remarkable for its reference to the coming war in space with extra-terrestrials. Michael Turner, a professor of physics at the University of Chicago, says in April 2003 Physics Today that it is impossible to "bottle dark energy" and if Einstein's 1915 theory is the final theory he is correct. However, the real UFO evidence that drives Hal Puthoff like Captain Ahab after The White Wale, Moby Dick, is the evidence that suggests Professor Turner will be proved wrong in that prediction.
