The Ultimate Rocket, the Ultimate Energy Source, and Their Use in the Ultimate Future

The ultimate rocket is a rocket that has the highest specific impulse allowed by the laws of physics: Isp = c/g ≈ thirty million seconds. I show that new experimental results in cosmology suggest how such a rocket might be constructed. Basically, the observed cosmological matter-antimatter asymmetry shows that baryon number and lepton number are not conversed at high energies, and thus it must be possible to convert matter into pure energy. Standard Model baryogenesis allows the reaction , which would mean a rocket exhaust of neutrino-antineutrino pairs created from hydrogen atoms. Neutrinos have very close to zero mass, so they travel at close to light speed. The reaction is also allowed, which would be the ultimate energy source. I show that the laws of physics require the universe to be spatially closed, end in a singularity, and require our descendants to engulf the entire universe and construct a universal computer.

Abstract

The ultimate rocket is a rocket that has the highest specific impulse allowed by the laws of physics: Isp = c/g ≈ thirty million seconds. I show that new experimental results in cosmology suggest how such a rocket might be constructed. Basically, the observed cosmological matter-antimatter asymmetry shows that baryon number and lepton number are not conversed at high energies, and thus it must be possible to convert matter into pure energy. Standard Model baryogenesis allows the reaction , which would mean a rocket exhaust of neutrino-antineutrino pairs created from hydrogen atoms. Neutrinos have very close to zero mass, so they travel at close to light speed. The reaction is also allowed, which would be the ultimate energy source. I show that the laws of physics require the universe to be spatially closed, end in a singularity, and require our descendants to engulf the entire universe and construct a universal computer.
