Dr. R.L. Forward, author of AFRPL TR-83-067, does an in depth
study of antiproton annihilation propulsion and the zero point
Casimir energy battery of the abelian gauge U(1) fiber quantum
electrodynamic vacuum. However, he does not take into account the
effect of the other basic nonabelian weak flavor and strong color
gauge forces on vacuum structure. Consequently, some of his
negative conclusions, based on the false assumption of a unique
nondegenerate interacting quantum field vacuum, may well prove
premature. (see Note below)
Well, I saw (Note below). Aside from noticing that you hint at
faster-than-light drive a perfect defense against nukes, I did not
understand anything you said.
Would you mind explaining it for hoi polloi? And telling when we can
have eternal life and non-fattening pecan pie?

I always dreamed that if I could invent faster-than-light drive, I could immediately turn it to the problem of strategic defense. Sounds like television-mentality science fiction to me, this application, like Superman appearing and using his powers to rescue kittens from trees.
