Right. Jamie, can you pull up one of those slides close to the – not that one. Go back. Keep going back a little bit more. Yeah, keep going up. Right there. Right there. So on the left-hand side of this image, there is a scanning electron microscope image of a nanostructure that we, in this case, we 3D-printed. And then we metallized it.

And so the work that we were doing for DARPA associated with that structure is focused on trying to harvest energy from the quantum field. And so we've been working towards trying to generate a voltage potential on that little structure where the pillars in the middle are at a different voltage from the walls that are in the picture there.

And in the process of doing the analysis to help us understand how thin do we need to make those rod-like structures you see inside the cavity gap, when we study how the quantum field responds to those structures, we noticed a kind of an unanticipated intersection with the idea of a space warp.

If you look at – there's like in the picture, there's like a little blue surface overlaid on top of the center pillar there. And you've got those two little regions that are like yellow. I think Jamie just moved his mouse over those, right? So that's the pillar. And if you move up, that blue surface shows the quantum field's response.

So that negative vacuum energy density distribution you hear me talking about, that is like a section cut in terms of what that looks like. And so we're trying to make sure that the nature of that distribution allows us to see a voltage difference, right, which we do see. But now we can go to the middle pane here, the top picture there. is that image on the bottom left.

And so you see those little yellow kind of looks like a lenticular shape. And then if you look at the picture beneath that, that is a section cut of a space warp, that ring that goes around the spaceship. So if you look at the distribution of the exotic matter on the bottom pane,

versus the distribution of negative vacuum energy density in the top, they're qualitatively very similar to one another. So as part of an extra credit, DARPA doesn't care about the idea of a space warp, to be clear. They don't care about that. But as scientists, we were interested in, wow, we didn't expect to see this. This is interesting. And so we took that insight and we said, all right,

The distribution that's on the left around that center pillar, it's prismatic, right? It's a straight up and down kind of distribution. It's not a ring, which is what we might think about when we think about a space warp. So we said, all right, well, let's do a slightly different model. Let's make a sphere inside a cylinder, right?
