Please give a citation for these writings of Einstein that you believe
justify your position.  At best they are quite at odds with everything
else Einstein wrote about relativity.  If you claim that no one else can
see them because they are "non-publized" (sic) then you should not
expect us to believe that they exist or that they say what you claim
they say.

The patent office has never consistently taken physical reality into
account when reviewing or granting patent applications.  One is not
required to build a prototype to get a patent, and the existence of a
patent is not proof that a concept is physically realizable.

As I said, this mailing list is for discussing how to achieve
interstellar travel with what we do know about physics.  This has
disappointed more than previous subscriber with fanciful ideas.
