'''Alan C. Holt''' is an American researcher associated with NASA's Johnson Space Center who is known for proposing an unconventional "field resonance" approach to spacecraft propulsion. He is listed in ''[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]''.<br />
<br />
==Work==<br />
In a 1979 NASA technical report, ''Field Resonance Propulsion Concept'' (NASA Technical Reports Server document 19800010907), Holt outlined a speculative propulsion system based on a proposed resonance between coherent, pulsed electromagnetic wave forms and gravitational wave forms, or space-time metrics. He suggested that such a system could in principle enable interstellar and inter-galactic travel without prohibitive travel times. The concept rests on two assumptions he states explicitly: that space-time is a "projection" of a higher-dimensional space, and that a relationship exists between electromagnetic and gravitational fields along the lines of a unified field theory. These ideas lie well outside mainstream physics, and no working propulsion system based on them has been demonstrated.<br />
<br />
Holt later co-authored work with Eric W. Davis and Harold Puthoff on the space testing of electromagnetically sensitive materials in the context of breakthrough propulsion physics.<br />
