Jamie Childress will kick things off with “Space-Time is a Material,” a paradigm-shifting look at the vacuum as an active medium with real, testable physical properties. Next, Douglas Miller presents “ZPE Field Density, SED, and the Miller Framework,” exploring stochastic electrodynamics and a proposed engineering roadmap for vacuum metric effects and propellantless thrust. Daniel Davis follows with “Warp-Assisted Hypersonics: Engineering the Shock Layer,” examining how controlled plasma and shock-layer physics might reduce hypersonic heating/blackout—and serve as a disciplined testbed for more speculative spacetime effects. We’ll also hear updates from our lab partners, then close with an open discussion and Q&A with attendees.
