This abstract is in a NASA database. Can anyone explain what it is talking
about? It seems to be proposing a method of tapping ZPF without a
gradient...

TITLE: On the use of vacuum for interstellar travel. II
Abstract: 

It is suggested that it may be possible to arrange the production of
strange matter in such a way as to form an analytically solvable system
which does not obey the second law of thermodynamics. It is further
speculated that the coherence of vacuum can be broken with resonances using
gauge particles, and that effects can be tunnelled from the quantum level
before the coherence of the vacuum is reestablished. It is recommended that
resonance tunneling be investigated as a possible mechanism for quark and
gluon materialization to both bound states and the related vacuum state, in
the form of solitons.
