Photon Fission via Artificial Gravitational Fields: A Novel Mechanism for Spacecraft Propulsion

This work proposes a theoretical framework for photon fission using engineered gravitational fields and explores its potential for powering future spacecraft engines. Assuming that the final velocity of a photon reaches approximately 4.82 C before disintegration, we estimate the kinetic energy of its constituent particle—Cidtonium—to be on the order of 2 × 10^-17 J, using a modified relativistic kinetic energy formulation.

We further suggest that photons possess complex internal dynamics—linear, rotational, and wave-like motions—implying that their constituents can also adopt diverse velocity states. Upon photon fission, this internal energy is transferred to numerous Cidtonium particles, each inheriting a fraction of the photon's energy and velocity.

A photon fission mechanism is introduced based on the intersection of multiple artificial gravitational fluxes at a localized point in space. Analogous to thermal and shear effects in fluid dynamics, these concentrated gravitational interactions can trigger photon decomposition and release usable energy. This concept opens a new line of inquiry into high-efficiency energy generation systems for deep-space propulsion, leveraging quantum and gravitational phenomena beyond conventional technology.
