Description

This article began when Christa, my friend in Germany, texted me about a German astronaut who’d just returned to Earth. I replied that a trip into space would be great but I’d like a gentler way of getting there than rockets, and would like to give my body time to adjust to the changing conditions so as to avoid space sickness. In my reply, I was unable to go into greater, and more accurate, detail – so this article is being written to gather my thoughts together.

 

According to Wikipedia, ”Space adaptation syndrome (SAS) or space sickness is a condition experienced by as many as half of all space travellers during their adaptation to weightlessness once in orbit. It is the opposite of terrestrial motion sickness since it occurs when the environment and the person appear visually to be in motion relative to one another even though there is no corresponding sensation of bodily movement originating from the vestibular system (the semicircular canals and otoliths of the inner ear which give a sense of balance and spatial orientation).”

 

Giving the body time to adapt to changing conditions equals adjustment to the conditions in space being simultaneous with prior adaptation to Earth conditions. This is achieved via a proposed future procedure in celestial mechanics which I call an “entanglement slingshot” since it extrapolates quantum entanglement (when particles cannot be described independently, even at large distances) to the macroscopic objects composed of those particles. Then it synchronizes that macro-entanglement with the gravitational slingshot (flying by a planet and using its gravity to alter a spacecraft’s path or speed).
