natural constraints through self-generated forces — pulling one’s own hair to fly.
This visual satire reflects the misunderstanding of passive force support without energy consideration.

Figure 5. Photon Rocket (excerpt from Section 9.6 of this book)
Only the emission of photons creates recoil thrust; external radiation pressure contributes no net propulsion. This principle highlights the importance of internal energy flow as the source of mechanical action — a key foundation of the book’s force-power equivalence.
Two Foundational Concepts Introduced
1. The Arrow of Light
This concept redefines light not merely as illumination, but as a directed stream of power—an arrow of
light—that links energy, force, motion, and matter. This stream can exert mechanical pressure, aligning
energy flow with physical action. Inspired by the work of Crookes, Bartoli, and Einstein, the book extends
their legacy into a unified modern framework.
2. Force–Power Equivalence
A novel equivalence is proposed:
This equation suggests that even static forces, such as support or tension, represent continuous energy
consumption. Analogous to E = mc², this perspective offers a fresh lens to view gravity, inertia, and radiation
phenomena as unified expressions of power dynamics.
Endorsed by AI: Structured Light, Quantum Forces, and Beyond
An AI overview generated by web engines has already connected this book’s core ideas with cutting-edge
research, including:
Structured Light
Scientists are designing optical fields with spatially varying properties (e.g., vortex beams), enabling advanced
control over radiation pressure for applications like optical trapping, quantum computing, and communication.

Pushing and Pulling Forces
Experimental evidence confirms that light can exert both pushing and pulling forces, depending on material
interactions—relevant for fusion technology and nanoscale manipulation.
Quantum Interactions
Quantum-level studies show that light interacting with superconducting systems can generate radiation
pressures a million times stronger than previously thought.
