Photonic Travel: Riding on a Beam of Light

This short technical ebook describes the technology that will be used to colonize distant planets in other solar systems. It is the most efficient form of transportation that is possible utilizing physical matter. A 5 watt laser pulse can be used to "push" a vehicle from Earth to Mars in about 12 minutes, at the speed of light. The passengers, however, do not feel any g-forces because they are essentially massless.
The technology is described along with the mathematical considerations. Suggestions for further research are made.  Each reader must comprehend that our universe literally blinks, off and on, more than 1 trillion times each second.
