Standard pedagogy treats topics in general relativity (GR) in terms of tensor formulations in curved space-time. An alternative approach based on treating the vacuum as a polarizable medium is under investigation. The polarizable vacuum (PV) analog model approach to GR, derived from a model by Dicke at Princeton and related to the ‘‘THεμ’’ formalism used in comparative studies of gravitational theories, provides additional insight into what is meant by a curved metric.
A theme that has come to the fore in advanced planning for long-range space exploration is the concept that empty space itself (the quantum vacuum, or spacetime metric) might be engineered so as to provide energy/thrust for future space vehicles. Although far-reaching, such a proposal is solidly grounded in modern physical theory, and therefore the possibility that matter/ vacuum interactions might be engineered for space-flight applications is not a priori ruled out. As examples, the current development of theoretical physics addresses such topics as warp drives, traversable wormholes and time machines that provide for such vacuum engineering possibilities. Our work provides a broad perspective of the physics and correlates/consequences of the engineering of the spacetime metric.
