Propulsion claims withdrawn
The author’s correction supersedes the propulsion conclusions of the earlier MEGA manuscript. The claimed thrust advantage and associated performance predictions are withdrawn. Read version 0.3 below; the earlier files remain available as historical records.
Overview
Withdraws the propulsion and performance claims of the earlier MEGA analysis after identifying an environmental reaction that was prescribed rather than derived. The correction develops a practical account of work, material scaling, clock and ruler comparisons, and complete energy and momentum balances. It corrects the proposed device application; the OQG scaling and supporting-power theorems remain unchanged.
Publication and version record
Correction manuscript version 0.3, dated 23 October 2026, supplied by the author and reproduced unchanged. Replaces the propulsion conclusions of Mach Effect Gravity Assist Warp Drive in Operational Quantum Gravity, version 0.8, and withdraws the corresponding claims in earlier versions. This stable article address now opens the correction. The earlier manuscript and calculation records are retained below as historical material with withdrawn propulsion claims. Inclusion does not represent independent JOATP peer review.
Included in the JOATP founding collection, 20 October 2026. The author retains copyright; original publisher terms continue to apply to previously published work.
