Abstract

The Bergmann Bounce Drive (BBD) was originally introduced as a reaction-mass-free spacecraft propulsion concept that utilizes controlled quantum-gravitational mini-bounces to generate directed spacetime expansion gradients. The first version (Zenodo DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18703627) theoretically achieved specific impulses of 10^{12}–10^{16} s but suffered from extremely high external energy requirements (10^{20}–10^{30} J per pulse), instability of the bounce region, and the lack of intrinsic navigation. A subsequent work (Zenodo DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18984399) calculated journey times to selected exoplanets assuming refueling at Stellar Bloom Stations in star-forming nebulae. With the integration of the Bergmann Chaos Field δ_chaos in BBD 2.0 (see separate manuscript), significant improvements emerge: stochastic amplification reduces external energy demand by factors of 10^3 to 10^6, retrocausal navigation optimizes trajectories, and Langevin stabilization provides intrinsic error correction. This paper recalculates the revised journey times to Proxima Centauri b, TRAPPIST-1 e, TOI-715 b, and Kepler-442 b under the new BBD 2.0 parameters and demonstrates that interstellar travel with chaos field amplification is no longer merely theoretical but becomes practically more realistic.
