From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki




Erik W. Lentz (born March 9, 1977) is a theoretical physicist currently employed as a postdoctoral research associate at The University of Göttingen. He earned a B.S. in physics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (2009), and a Ph.D. in physics at The University of Washington (2017). His research interests include axion dark matter, superluminal travel, gravity-media dualities and physically-motivated action principles. He has published approximately a dozen articles in peer reviewed scientific journals [1].

His most notable publication deals with the physics of warp drives (Breaking the warp barrier: hyper-fast solitons in Einstein–Maxwell-plasma theory [2]). Extending the work of theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre he proposed new solutions to Einstein’s general relativity equations that allow the formation of warp bubbles via solitons . His work in noteworthy in that his solution requires only the presence of positive energy and not the pitfall of non-existent negative energy as required by Alcubierre's solution. Though several imposing obstacles prevent practical applications, this is the first mathematically sound proposal of superluminal warp field mechanics that lies within the realm of physical possibilities.
