Dramatically.

Coherent radiation power scales to the square of the number of electrons.

The square?

The Mysterious Signals Scientists Still Can_t Explain in Deep Space

12:02
Understanding why these surviving signals are so puzzling requires understanding what they physically are.
speaker_2NARRATOR
12:09
A fast radio burst is a transient pulse of coherent radio emission.
speaker_2NARRATOR
12:14
Coherent means the radio waves are organised rather than random, implying that whatever generates them involves a mechanism that forces enormous numbers of charged particles to radiate in lockstep.
speaker_2NARRATOR
12:25
This is not thermal radiation, not the gentle glow of a hot object.

This is something more like a cosmic laser operating at radio wavelengths.

If you had enough momentum, maybe.
Jason VerbelliGUEST
98:15
And I write about that in an article and in my book, Four on Coherence, about canceling inertia up to a point.
Jason VerbelliGUEST
98:24
Because depending upon the amount of coherent potential you have in those spring-loaded electron pairs present, you can negate gravity and not feel that while you're traveling, going thousands of miles an hour.
Jason VerbelliGUEST
98:37
But if you exceed that potential for the amount of mass or the fuel or the emissions that you're generating, you'll start to feel that inertia again after that critical threshold.
