Bare Mass Negative Energy Extraction
Negative energy required for wormholes exists as the 'bare mass' of elementary particles. It is normally hidden by the gravitational action of the rest of the universe; screening this interaction reveals the negative rest mass.
Gravity as Spacetime Medium
Gravity is not a force within spacetime but is identical to spacetime itself. Manipulating gravity is therefore manipulating the geometry of spacetime directly.
Phased Array Gravitational Amplification
Gravitational waves can be focused and amplified using phased arrays of Josephson junctions. By controlling time delays (delta T) between emitters, a focused effect is achieved without physical lenses.
