  • Fabrizio Pinto - Casimir Effect Propulsion Applications
    Dr. Fabrizio Pinto discusses propulsion applications of the Casimir Effect, which is a macroscopic physical force which arises from quantum field fluctuations.
    Dr. Fabrizio Pinto is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Izmir University of Economics in Izmir, Turkey, where he founded the EKOSPACE center for research on artificial satellites, and he is an advisor to the Turkish Space Agency. He pursues research in the application of dispersion forces, such as the Casimir and van der Waals forces, to novel technologies on the nanoscale with target applications in next-generation spacecraft.
    Fabrizio has published research on the interaction of gravitation and quantum systems in which the outcome depends critically on the structure of spacetime, receiving awards from the Gravity Research Foundation. Topics of long-term interest are the history and philosophy of science; digital astronomy with small instruments and their application in space-awareness, orbital modeling, and navigation; and the gravitational N-body problem in astrophysics.
    After an academic career in Idaho and Oregon, in 1996, Fabrizio joined the Navigation and Flight Mechanics section of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In 1999, he left JPL to pursue market disruptive applications enabled by dispersion forces in nanotechnology, obtaining ten US patents, some of which have also issued in the EU, Israel and Japan.

  • Kevin Knuth - UAP Flight Characteristics: The Five Observables
    Dr. Kevin Knuth discusses the physics & flight characteristics of UAP phenomena and explores the “5 observables of UAPs“, which are Positive lift, Sudden Acceleration, Hypersonic Velocity without Signatures, Trans-Medium Travel, and Low Observability.
    Dr. Kevin Knuth is an Associate Professor of Physics at University of Albany with over two decades of experience in machine learning algorithms for Astrophysics, Bayesian Probability Theory, Information Theory, Robotics, Signal Processing, Neuroscience, Nonlinear Dynamics, Quantum Mechanics, and many other areas. He’s also the editor of the peer-review open-access journal “Entropy”, as well as being a member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies.
    In September 2019 he published, “Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles” co-authored by Robert M. Powell and Peter Reali. In that paper, he described UAPs as reportedly being “structured craft that exhibit ‘impossible flight characteristics’.
    In the Entropy paper, his team did analysis on the 2004 Nimitz Tic Tac encounters, and describe these craft as having “ Estimated accelerations range from almost 100 g to 1000s of gs with no observed air disturbance, no sonic booms, and no evidence of excessive heat,” and, ”observed flight characteristics of these craft are consistent with the flight characteristics required for interstellar travel”.

  • David Chester - Antigravity In General Relativity Theory
    Dr. David Chester discusses engineering approaches to gravity modification in General Relativity Theory, Quantum Mechanics, String & Brane, and other physics theories with applications for advanced propulsion.
    In this presentation, the term "antigravity" is explored as a collection of approaches for modifying time-space to generate repulsive forces that can be described in layperson's terms as antigravity.
    Dr. David Chester has a PhD in Physics from UCLA, and became passionate about quantum field theory and general relativity while attending MIT for undergraduate studies. During his graduate studies at UCLA he worked on efficient scattering amplitude methods for Yang-Mills theory and its relation to solutions of gravity.
    His PhD thesis discussed how to compute gravitational radiation from Feynman diagrams. This further demonstrated that theoretical methods used for the LHC can be relevant for LIGO, two of the largest experimental endeavors. David is also interested in the application of exceptional mathematics to describe quantum gravity beyond the standard model physics.
    Dr. David Chester is a member of the Quantum Gravity Research Group, a team of physicists, mathematicians and chemists are hard at work on what we call “emergence theory,” a new quantum gravity theory (or “Theory of Everything”) that unifies space, time, energy, matter, information and consciousness.
