A Minimal Theoretical Framework for Assessing Field-Propulsion Theories: Momentum Closure, Limiting Conditions, and Background Momentum Reservoirs

A wide variety of field-propulsion concepts have been proposed that invoke electromagnetic fields, the quantum vacuum, inertia, spacetime, the distant universe, and other physical entities. However, when a propulsion device acquires net momentum, the momentum-conservation require...
