Walter Dröscher
Encyclopedia
Walter Dröscher is a physicist who worked at the Austrian Patent office (Österreichisches Patentamt). Now in retirement, he devotes most of his time to developing Heim Theory
Heim theory
Heim theory is a physics theory, initially proposed by a German physicist, the late Burkhard Heim, that attempts to develop a theory of everything. Heim theory's six dimensional model was later extended to eight and twelve dimensions, in collaboration with W. Dröscher...

. It was in 1980 that Dröscher was introduced to the reclusive German physicist Burkhard Heim
Burkhard Heim
Burkhard Heim was a German theoretical physicist. He devoted a large portion of his life to the pursuit of his unified field theory, Heim theory. One of his childhood ambitions was to develop a method of space travel, which contributed to his motivation to find such a theory.During World War II,...

, thereby becoming one of the few physicists to collaborate with Heim.

Research

Dröscher quickly familiarised himself with the theory and so was able to ensure that Volume II of Heim's work on Elementary Particle
Elementary particle
In particle physics, an elementary particle or fundamental particle is a particle not known to have substructure; that is, it is not known to be made up of smaller particles. If an elementary particle truly has no substructure, then it is one of the basic building blocks of the universe from which...

Physics
Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through spacetime, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.Physics is one of the oldest academic...

 was essentially error free. Volume I contained errors that were only later corrected, with the help of Dröscher and others.

As he got to know the theory better, he saw that by re-introducing the 7th and 8th dimensions discarded from what had become Heim's 6 dimensional theory, two new forces could be derived which are related to normal gravity.

Dröscher also made clear the correspondence between Heim Theory and the Standard Model
Standard Model
The Standard Model of particle physics is a theory concerning the electromagnetic, weak, and strong nuclear interactions, which mediate the dynamics of the known subatomic particles. Developed throughout the mid to late 20th century, the current formulation was finalized in the mid 1970s upon...

. In particular, the purported ability to accurately calculate the masses of atomic particles.

Awards

In 2005, a team consisting of Dröscher and Jochem Häuser (University of Applied Sciences in Salzgitter, Germany; Physicist & Professor of Computer Science) received one of the 21 Best Paper awards that year from the AIAA for their application of Heim-Dröscher theory to space propulsion. It is also noteworthy, that this particular award was delivered by the subcommittee of which Hauser was a member.

Criticism

The Heim-Dröscher theory is not to be confused with such metrics as Alcubierre drive
Alcubierre drive
The Alcubierre drive, also known as the Alcubierre metric, is a speculative, but valid solution of the Einstein field equations. It is a mathematical model of a spacetime exhibiting features reminiscent of the fictional "warp drive" from Star Trek, which can travel "faster than light", although...

. And like other Faster Than Light theories, it is not without its critics.
