"Revolutionary Power Transmission: Harnessing Gravitational Lenses for Interstellar Energy Transfer"

A recent paper by NASA scientist Slava Turyshev explores the possibility of using gravitational lenses, specifically the Sun as a Solar Gravity Lens (SGL), to transmit power from star to star. Turyshev's research builds on previous studies that have examined the physics of gravitational lenses and their potential applications in astronomy and interstellar communication. By utilizing the amplification properties of gravitational lenses, it may be possible to beam energy over interstellar distances, opening up new possibilities for interstellar exploration and settlement. While the mathematics behind this concept are sound, further research is needed to address various technical challenges and refine the feasibility of interstellar power transmission.
