SPEED OF LIGHT: NASA ENGINEER GAVE ENGINE CONCEPT

NASA engineer David Burns produced an engine of speed of light concept that, he says. It could theoretically accelerate to 99 percent of the speed of light – all without using propellant. Dr Burns, from Nasa’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama, unveiled the idea in a head-spinning paper posted to Nasa’s website.

As a thought experiment to explain his concept, Burns describes a box with a weight inside. Threaded on a line, with a spring at each end bouncing the weight back and forth. In a vacuum – such as space – the effect of this would be to wiggle the entire box, with the weight seeming to stand still.
