In the study of deep space transport at high speed, the concept of frame dragging was developed as a kinetic energy field of stress curvature behind a vehicle and reverse curvature around the front. These local regions were said to have quantum states that have limited capacity to store energy, and also have possibility of changing to another quantum state when degeneracy occurs with the filling of all possible energy levels for a given state.

Roger Penrose describes the U process which in this representation is the filling ,of energy levels in local space as a vehicle accelerates, then describes the R process which is a state reduction that is triggered by local energy density. In the present representation a spin angular momentum of virtual particle pairs is the quantized property.

Passage of time was said to be a cause of false vacuum in a previous thread. Within a model where the vehicle changes local quantum state of vacuum, the question is asked if a local collapse of false vacuum might be caused in a dragged frame behind the vehicle, from vacuum energy density falling below a critical value and or passage of time stopping locally. Also is there a safe speed relative to CMB at which collapse would not occur?

Could Human Actions Cause Local Collapse Of False Vacuum?
