Title: A weird idea to achieve relativistic speed
Post by: Science98 on 11/02/2019 17:50:21
I have imagined a idea to achieve the relativistic speed. If my idea does not work please don't josh with me and if it works then we will achieve it.

We know about the compton effect. It says that, the wavelength of the emitted photon is greater than the wavelength off osculating  photon. Different material have different work function. So at first, we will osculate a huge amount of photon at a required speed on a material that have a high work function. And then we will pass the emitted photons containing high wavelength  through a strong magnetic field. If there is effect of magnetic field on photons, then we will be able to reshape the huge amount of photons with the help of magnetic field. The shape will be like a suitable spaceship in order to make space travel possible. If this idea not works, there might be another idea with the LHC to achieve the relativistic speed. Let me know your opinion?

If there is effect of magnetic field on photons,
In general, there isn't.

In any event, you still have to contend with the laws of conservation of momentum and energy.

Quote from: OP
We know about the Compton effect.
The Compton effect works best with gamma rays.
- Gamma rays come from sources like atomic bombs.
- But gamma rays cause severe radiation damage to living things.

You may as well have a spaceship powered by nuclear weapons
