bit-head rated 5 months ago- The compelling part is how this theory and subsequent mathematics can predict the mass of sub-atomic particles with accuracy - the kind of prediction that usually requires heavy duty computers and small things like linear accelerators. This is why his ideas should not be shoved aside but studied more. The problem with traveling at near or above the speed of light is the physical affects it may have on the current technology (e.g. metal alloys used to build spaceships) and the affects on our frail bodies. That said, it is an interesting read and folks did say at one time that traveling at 60mph would blow your face off.

- This brought back fond memories... Me: "Hey Dan, can you help me with these density problems? I'm not sure I'm grasping it." My physics professor: "Hey did you ever hear of Heim? He was a Nazi physicist who had his hands blown off and came up with a unified theory of physics!" Me: ...

- The man is a genius - and his theories should get more attention. See his entry in wikipedia for more info and other sources. From the wikipedia entry for "Heim theory": "In the 1950s, Heim had predicted what he termed a 'contrabary' effect whereby photons, under the influence of a strong magnetic field in a certain configuration, could be transformed into 'gravito-photons', which would provide an artificial gravity force. This idea caused great interest at the time [15]. A recent series of experiments by Martin Tajmar et al., partly funded by ESA, may have produced the first evidence of artificial gravity [16] (about 23 orders of magnitude greater than what General Relativity predicts). As of late 2006, groups at Berkeley and elsewhere were attempting to reproduce this effect. By applying their 'gravito-photon' theory to bosons, Droscher and Hauser were able to predict the size and direction of the effect [14]. A further prediction of Heim-Droscher theory shows how a different arrangement of the experiment by Tajmar et al. could produce a vertical force against the direction of the Earth's gravity. However, in July 2007, a group in Canterbury, New Zealand, said that they failed to reproduce Tajmar et al's effect, concluding that, based on the accuracy of the experiment, any such effect, if it exists, must be 21 times smaller than that predicted by the theory proposed by Tajmar in 2006.[15] Tajmar et al., however, interpreted a trend in the Canterbury data of the order expected, though almost hidden by noise. They also reported on their own improved laser gyro measurements of the effect, but this time found 'parity breaking' in that only for clockwise spin did they note an effect, whilst for the Canterbury group there was only an anti-clockwise effect [16]. In the same paper, the Heim-Theory explanation of the effect is, for the first time, cited as a possible cause of the artificial gravity."

- Photo by jurvetson From the page: "Heim's ideas described a "hyperdrive" which would locally modify the constants of nature in such a way that a vehicle would be allowed to travel at immense speeds, possibly faster than the speed of light. Such a propulsion system could theoretically reach Mars in under five hours, and neighboring stars within a few months." Who knows? Perhaps indeed we finally found a way to reach the stars..
