Light can change speed, even in a vacuum, a new paper reports. The discovery could change the way we think about one of the constants of the universe. “Our work highlights that, even in free space, the invariance of the speed of light only applies to plane waves,” the authors conclude. "It is unclear whether the work has any practical applications". "There are no indications to suggest that since light speed can be lowered, it can also be raised or breached for interstellar travel." "No indications" (?????) .....4th grade level, stark revelations, that light speed can be breached for interstellar travel.....concepts that have been around from the 60s, reflected in the Radius of Curvature chapters in the following links ..... TO WHICH NO CHALLENGE HAS YET BEEN RAISED - except by those who have not read, nor have the slightest concept of the content."We can now see that a frequency differential which by the above formula is equal to 9x10(20) ergs per gram also represents the quantity C. When such a frequency differential exists between the observer and the point which he is observing, we again find that the natural laws at the observed point reach zero value with respect to the observer. If the frequency differential exceeds this value, the action of the laws will become negative. A material object such as a spacecraft upon or near the surface of the earth would cease to exist as matter and would enter the plane of energy insofar as the observer on earth was concerned, but as we have previously pointed out, an observer upon or within the object, whose frequency or energy level had been raised to the same degree as that of the craft, would be unable to detect any change. We must clear our minds of the thought block produced by the assumption that the quantity C is a factor of absolute limit. We must realize that it is a limiting factor only with respect to two given reference points, and that it is perfectly possible to conceive of a series of consecutive reference points between each two of which a differential equal to the quantity C may exist."

Buggy Whip Begone!
VATICAN CITY — In a sweeping environmental manifesto aimed at spurring concrete action, Pope Francis called Thursday for a bold cultural revolution to correct what he described as a “structurally perverse” economic system where the rich exploit the poor, turning Earth into an “immense pile of filth.”
The document released Thursday was a stinging indictment of big business and climate doubters alike, aimed at spurring courageous changes at U.N. climate negotiations later this year, in domestic politics and in everyday life.
“The simple reality is that energy is the essential building block of the modern world,” said Thomas Pyle of the Institute of Energy Research, a conservative free-market group.
"....energy is the essential building block of the modern world"???
Editor’s Note: Then why the incredible blindness and stagnation in advanced energy systems?
Suppresion of information is not part of the FREEDOM EQUATION
It appears that the whole-scale aversion to Zero Point Energy, a realm of no space or time, lies with the fact that it treads upon the spiritual, metaphysical domain, the third leg on the scientific tripod of reality, governed by the same scientific laws and principles, as above so below (i.e., tripod: physical, mental, spiritual).

Thoughts on ELECTRODYNAMICS, extracting energy from the vacuum:
It is perfectly possible to produce a negative gravitational field between the earth and a given object on or near its surface by the proper application of moving electric charges. Such a field would be effective only with respect to the given object. All other matter in the vicinity would remain within the positive portion of the curve.
- Gravity: the positive and negative charges of the protons and electrons, when united within the neutron, are not discernible as charges but exist as energy which produces the gravitational field.
RECALL ELECTRICITY, AS ENERGY, IT'S EVERYWHERE,
ALREADY EXISTS AT THE VC DIFFERENTIAL
We can now see that a frequency differential which by the above formula is equal to 9x10(20) ergs per gram also represents the quantity C. When such a frequency differential exists between the observer and the point which he is observing, we again find that the natural laws at the observed point reach zero value with respect to the observer. If the frequency differential exceeds this value, the action of the laws will become negative. A material object such as a spacecraft upon or near the surface of the earth would cease to exist as matter and would enter the plane of energy insofar as the observer on earth was concerned, but as we have previously pointed out, an observer upon or within the object, whose frequency or energy level had been raised to the same degree as that of the craft, would be unable to detect any change.
