Cosmic Horizons: Extreme Concepts in Relativistic Rocket Flight.

Overview

Cosmic Horizons provides a whimsical tour of relativistic rocket flight scenarios involving extreme time dilation. Unusual methods of rocket propulsion are also presented. Cosmic Horizons includes scenarios of space travel along with forward special relativistic time travel of cosmic scale distances. Relativistic rocket scenarios generally rely on well-established physical principles. Accordingly, the majority of the mathematical descriptions provided in Cosmic Horizons are based on 19th and 20th Century physics paradigms. Also included in the book are methods of life-support. Cryogenic sleep, hibernation, farming, food production and other essentials for lengthy ship-time frame missions are presented. Cosmic Horizons also includes numerous color images such as graphs, photos, and electronic illustrations and diagrams. Many simple tabulations of computed values for space craft performance are also presented. The reader upon careful study of the text will hopefully realize that interstellar and intergalactic travel is plausible on scales that dwarf many scenarios presented in popular science fiction works such as movies, television shows, and novels.
