Kinetic break through the space-time

There is a lot written about traveling at speeds higher than that of light. Different theoretical
possibilities are considered but all of them are related to the idea that the space-time has more than four
dimensions. According to the models the extra dimensions are “compressed” and they do not appear
under normal conditions. In order that they become appearing it is necessary to concentrate a lot of
energy in a certain volume of the known four-dimension space. Most of the hypothesises that try to
model the space-time under these conditions use complex mathematical methods which personally I do
not know well enough. But there are things that arouse the attention even of an ordinary physicist like
me. I think I can propose one of them in an appropriate mathematical form.
I believe my reasoning to be right but if someone finds I am wrong I expect his arguments.
It refers to the following:
According to one of the solutions found out by Friedman, the four-dimension linear element can be
expressed as follows:
ds2 = R2(t)dσ 2 - dx42
where: ds is a linear element in the four-dimension space-time;
dσ2 = γi,jdxidxj – dσ is a three-dimensional length independent to t ; (i,j =1,3)
can be presented as: dσ = [1+(ε/4)r2]-2∑(dxi)2 ; r2=∑(xi)2 ; ε≠0 – a fixed constant curvature ; g44= -1 ;
R(t) – radius of a curvature.
x4 = ct

According to this and according to the geodesic equation it follows that : for a particle of mass m0 >0
|p| R = const. ; where p= m0v(1- v2/c2)-1/2

Refer to :
“Theory of relativity” – W. Pauli, 1983, p. 300, remark 19

If we differentiate the equation in relation to t we shall obtain :

d (R p ) d (R p ) ∂p ∂R ∂p ∂R
= 0 , but =R + p ⇒ R + p =0
dt dt ∂t ∂t ∂t ∂t

∂R ∂p
⇒ =− This, in my opinion, shows that the change of the impulse of the material particle
R p
leads to a local change of the curvature of the space around it.
Considering this I think we can unite the moving mass at speed v → c with a mass creating a strong
gravitational field (black hole) in the following manner:
Let an object of mass m0 and radius R moves at a speed v → c; v < c
Rc 2
We shall note the mass of an object of the same radius by Mcr so that Mcr =
2G
where G – is the gravitational constant.
To an external observer the mass of the moving object - М changes according to the law:

M= , then we shall ask M = Mcr

is such, that to the external observer, the object traveling at sub light speed turns into a black hole.
The calculations show that vcr depends only on the mass in static state and the size of the object. It is
obvious and easy to check that the speed of particles of small mass and size is very close to the speed of light
while the bigger the size and the mass, the easier it is to attain vcr . This speed is extremely small for an
object of the mass and size of the Universe. This could explain why the Universe is closed!

Vcr = c 1 − [ ] where we have expressed the mass by the density and the volume of the
c2
object. The latter formula expresses the critical speed of the object of average density ρ and radius R
(for convenience sake, we suppose that the object is spherical).
In my view, these calculations show that principally a kinetic(caused by a moving object) break
through the four-dimension space-time is possible at speeds smaller than the value of the light speed.
I cannot say what will happen to the hypothetical ship that would carry out such a breakthrough. But I
know that experiments to calculate this are carried out.
I simply propose another way of entering the subspace. The idea that I suggest has a deeper sense, but I
am still not ready to discuss this.
I highly appreciate all opinions and especially those supported mathematically.
