Abstract
This paper will propose a new way of thinking about space and space propulsion that is unique to the advanced propulsion arena. The basis for this new concept is vastly different from the physics governing other systems currently investigated (e.g. fusion and antimatter rockets, beamed energy, etc.) and would permit travel at faster-than-light (FTL) velocities. The symmetrical nature of special relativity makes this possible by defining three coexisting spacetimes in the universe, each with their own unique set of physical laws based on the speed of light. FTL travel would occur through a quantum transformation of mass at the quark level between subluminal spacetime, where the maximum velocity is light speed, and superluminal spacetime, where the maximum velocity is infinite and the speed of light is considered a rest state. Once inside superluminal space, a vessel would be propelled by a field that interacts with static electromagnetic forces. Based on the characteristics of the superlight realm, the 'trans-space' method of FTL travel would allow a vessel to traverse sublight space by traveling through the superlight continuum without incurring the penalties of special relativity or causal relations. In addition, the characteristics of superlight space provide a unique approach to the existence of dark matter within the universe.
