The origin of the material - where and how exactly it was acquired, is immaterial. All that matters are its properties and its structure.
Why of course, because hoaxers are known to provide quality data...
You internet trolls are amazing – the whole world is just one big conspiracy to you people, huh?
We’ve got Sen. Harry Reid confirming the existence of this program and his role in creating it. We’ve got the New York Times writing about it and confirming it with multiple independent sources, and the former Director of the program at the Pentagon appearing on every major network in the country, and he’s confirmed the existence of this metamaterial on several occasions now.
But it’s all just a big “hoax,” right? The real irony here, is that you probably think of yourself as a “skeptic,” when in reality, skeptics base their conclusions on facts and data. There’s zero evidence that this is some big “hoax” or “conspiracy,” and yet off you go, slinging around wild accusations in lieu of actual facts or evidence to support your assertion.
You’re not a skeptic Realm; you’re a parody of a skeptic.
If it really does lose some mass under THz radiation exposure, then that's a major leap forward for science.
Which is just a silly idea based on nothing.
That’s what I assumed when I heard Tom DeLonge say it. But then, because I’m an actual skeptic and not a faker like you are, I actually studied the subject to find out: is there a viable physical mechanism whereby a photonic metamaterial can lose some of its rest mass?” And after a few days of reading academic physics papers on the subject, I learned that yes, there is.
And subsequently we’ve heard Luis Elizondo and Dr. Puthoff speak about just such a photonic metamaterial and it’s exotic structure. So either they’re all liars (as you’d have us believe), or you are (which I’m about to prove).
We have already seen how credible your crackpot physics are.
So here we go, Realm: clearly this particular subject is way above your pay-grade, and I empathize because the bridge between metamaterials and general relativity is a highly advanced subject that few people can understand without many years of physics study under their belt, so we can set this specific topic aside for a moment.
And I’ll just ask you point-blank, you said you’ve “already seen how credible your crackpot physics are,” so name
one previous example where I’ve been wrong about physics. Take your time.
Everything that I share publicly on the subject of physics is backed up by peer-reviewed academic physics papers published in reputable mainstream journals. You, on the other hand, are a true physics crackpot (you really shouldn’t pretend to know about a subject like physics without actually studying the subject, fyi) – like that time you attacked Constance for her interest in Einstein-Cartan torsion field physics as “pseudo-science”…and it turned out that it’s actually a valid and academically respected field of interest and on-going development. You never apologized to her for that, btw, little man.
And your sources do not support your claims.
Haha – you just proved that you didn’t understand those papers, and you don’t even know it. Funny.
The Einstein field equation is a very difficult subject to understand, but when you get under the hood, you find that the stress-energy tensor is composed of very simple fundamental physical quantities like energy and pressure and momentum. And some of these quantities can be either positive or negative in value, so they can contribute either a positive or a negative term to the aggregate value of the Einstein stress-energy tensor. Pressure is one such term: pressure can be either positive, or negative (in which case we call it “tension.") Tension thereby contributes a negative component to the value of the stress-energy tensor. All negative components in the stress-energy tensor reduce the rest mass, and therefore the gravitational field, of a body of matter.
And these papers that you didn’t understand, prove that photonic metamaterials with a triangular microstructure, exhibit tension when activated with THZ radiation. This means that their
mass is reduced by these tension components of the stress-energy tensor when they’re energized in this manner. It’s an outstanding question as to the magnitude of that effect: can we engineer a photonic metamaterial to exhibit sufficient tension to detect that mass reduction effect in the lab? That remains to be seen. But is there a viable theoretical mechanism to allow for such a thing in principle? Absolutely: the pressure within activated photonic metamaterials can be either positive or negative, depending on the geometry of their microstructure. And these papers prove it convincingly, which is why the second paper (and both papers are from the same team of specialists in the field) was published in Physical Review A, one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed physics journals on the planet:

https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1801/1801.00942.pdf
I’m sorry that you don’t understand physics well enough to debate me on the subject, but you’ve proven again and again that your ego is vastly larger than your knowledge in this area.
Once again? Living in a dream world again? Your crackpot physics have never proved me wrong, but actual physics have certainly proved you wrong, like here before:
UFO propulsion, metric engineering, and horizon physics
Lol – you thought you’d proven me wrong because I didn’t respond - but that’s only because I had you on Ignore; I generally ignore internet trolls =) And you based your argument on a Wikipedia page!
I never said that negative matter exists – that’s a purely theoretical idea that was used to explore exotic geometries in general relativity, like wormholes and time machines.
You simply don’t understand the difference between “negative matter” and “negative mass,"” which are two completely different things. I know it's confusing, but it's an important distinction that the layman frequently fails to understand, so I'll clarify. "Negative matter" aka "exotic matter," is a purely hypothetical form of matter that would have a negative rest mass - if you push on it, it would come toward you...weird stuff. Nobody thinks it's real. "Negative mass," on the other hand, means "a negative value of the Einstein stress tensor." It refers to a condition of positive matter, or energy - as appears to be the case with dark energy. So you can have negative mass without negative matter, but you can't have negative matter without negative mass. That Wikipedia article didn't carefully distinguish between these two ideas, which is why you got confused (and that's one reason why you shouldn't use Wikipedia to research theoretical physics).
We know for a fact that negative gravitational solutions are physically real in this universe (the dark energy effect proves it – that’s a gravitationally repulsive acceleration). And Dr. Manu Paranjape proved that; A.) the positive energy theorem doesn’t apply to our universe so net negative solutions to the Einstein field equation can exist after all (no negative matter required)[1], and B.) a bubble of positive matter with sufficient surface tension can produce a negative net effective mass in vacuo (this result was so ground-breaking that it got published in Physical Review D, the most prestigious physics journal in the world)[2].

So negative mass solutions to the Einstein field equation are a real thing, and no negative matter is required. According to the canon of mainstream academic theoretical physics.
But you argue against it, which proves that you’re a physics crank. See how that works?
And why are you even posting here, since you're obviously an ardent disbeliever of the ufo phenomenon and a vocal critic of everyone involved in this field? Did they kick you out of your true home at MetaBunk, or what?
I'm just doing others a favor by exposing the misinformation you are trying to spread.
Oh I see: so
you’re the hero in this story – saving the unwashed masses from a misinformation campaign that only exists in your own head. How noble! You’re like our very own Don Quixote, valiantly tilting at windmills with your balsa wood sword, protecting us from former DoD officials who are confirming what we already knew (that AAVs operate in our airspace from time to time) and from all of that “crackpot physics” that the mainstream physics journals keep publishing and which point the way to a field propulsion technology that will one day take mankind to the stars.
Do us all a favor Realm, and spare us your ignorance and self-delusions. You’re not a hero, you’re a phony skeptic troll, and your conclusions are as worthless as the ignorance that they’re based on.
Also, if we were interested in hearing the views of the cynics at MetaBunk,
we'd go there, rather than posting here where people are actually interested in these subjects.
