The Černohajev Manuscripts and US Advanced Programs: Convergence, Constraint, or Contamination? - An Analysis of Competing Hypotheses
The posthumous manuscripts of Valerijs Černohajev (1958–2019), a Soviet aerospace engineer, describe a claimed non-human aerospace propulsion system using specific numerical parameters across seven physics domains. This report applies an Analysis of…
On the Bianchi-Identity Failure of Metamaterial-Modulated Gravitational Coupling and a Dual-Charge Source-Side Reformulation
Recent proposals in low-energy "warp drive" physics, notably the Sarfatti–Wanser metamaterial metric-engineering ansatz [17,18,21], replace the constant gravitational coupling κ₀ ≡ 8πG/c⁴ in Einstein’s field equation with a spatially varying scalar…
Experimental Signatures of the Dual-Charge Gravitational Framework: Sensitivity Analysis and Detection Prospects
Companion paper to Sticco (2026), Zenodo DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19928585. The linear-order, framework-independent bounds developed in Sections 3-6 apply to any minimal implementation of the dual-charge framework. The N-squared coherent-enhancement…
On the Scalar-Theory Status of the Polarizable-Vacuum Approach to General Relativity: Post-2017 Observational Constraints and a Source-Side Reformulation in the Dual-Charge Framework
The polarizable-vacuum (PV) approach to general relativity proposed by Puthoff (2002) [1] reformulates gravitational effects through a position-dependent vacuum dielectric constant K(x) in flat Minkowski space, with the velocity of light replaced by…
