understanding Laser Propulsion

[thomas malloy]

I read the book Laser Propulsion,LP, by Unitel-areospace. While I 
read the words, much of what the author says makes no sense to me. So 
I've decided to go through it one page at a time and see what 
comments I get.

I've heard about magnetic monopoles for some time. They make a great 
theory, but I've yet to understand to get one to manifest itself The 
book says that a proton sets up an electric field when it is 
motionless, does that ever occur? and that when it is in motion it 
sets up a magnetic field in three dimensions. A monopole, OTOH, 
creates a magnetic field when stationary and an electric field when 
in motion.

Then there is the matter of time reversal. The drawing show two loops 
of wire above one another. A + charged particle is shown moving in 
between them. When moving between the two loops, the path of the 
particle is reversed with the reversal of the current direction. The 
second drawing shows four monopoles above and below. When the + 
charged particle moves through them it's path is a mirror image.

If I could move waves or particles in reverse time, then I could 
transmit information. Tomorrow's winning lottery numbers for instance.

In a telephone conversation with the author, he said that photons 
have two components, one time forward, the other time reversed. I 
suppose the problem is separating them.
