Addendum to Paper Entitled “A New Perspective on Advanced Space TRAVEL”

Authors: Peter Bissonnet

This paper is prepared in order to point out to the reader, if the reader is not already so informed, of some glaring omissions and/or deficiencies in the original paper so titled. (1) the first omission lies in the fact that no clear cut indication was given of the source of the so called “mass velocity vector”. Originally, the idea was obtained from Bernoulli fluid flow theory, but, lately, the author has discovered that this idea can also be derived from a four dimensional covariant (or tensor) formulation of the Fokker-Planck equation, which describes the time development of a type of random/stochastic process called a Markoff process. (2) The second omission was a failure to give the equation for the Fermi constant in terms of the fundamental constants that were appropriate thereto. (3) The third omission involved giving only the value of the predicted mass that CERN should find as 1118 times the mass of the proton, without giving the Gev value as well. (4) The fourth omission consisted of a math error on page 20 of the original manuscript: the author failed to pick up the mathematical error. (5) The fifth omission is found on page 23 of the original manuscript, in which the author discusses the reason why photons do not travel at infinite speed. The example used there was not very enlightening, and the author realized it at the time. In order to make up for that omission, the author has devised a new example which, it is hoped, will make the inertial problem of the photon much clearer. (6) This is a grab bag of future research problems: which ones are real, imaginary, crazy, or insane?
