The effects of superluminal Alcubierre drives and high velocity reference points on WIMP speed/energy

Abstract

Within this study a particle with the parameters of the WIMP model of dark matter is analyzed in its interaction with a hypothetical Alcubierre drive. The Alcubierre drive has the seeming ability to violate the "speed limit" of light by utilizing a manipulation of Einstein's equation to expand and contract space on either side of a given bubble to move it to different locations at arbitrary rates. The interaction of the drive with particles in space has been studied within literature, however, in this study the effects that the WIMP specifically has on the drives is determined in both its energy generation and gravitational accumulation. It is then compared to the effects of "light matter" particles. The data received from this topic is utilized to inspire a new model of WIMP average relative velocities. This model was devised by contrasting the velocities of particles interacting with the back to the front of a body in motion. The model displays a partially applicable function that is able to display a definable trend in the rate of average particle relative velocity growth as it relates to an increase in velocity of the body. Due to the fact the mass of the WIMP is constant, the energy of the particle is solely reliant upon its velocity, so a detection method is devised to determine the speed of dark matter and further prove the WIMP's existence. This method is discussed.
