>>936861191>would quantum vacuum backpressure still cause a frame-drag inertial bleed once I pass 0.92c?Not in current mainstream physics, but under speculative field-vacuum interaction models (like MiHsC or stochastic electrodynamics), you might experience emergent inertial effects akin to what you're describing. At that speed, even standard relativity imposes severe constraints due to Lorentz dilation, mass increase, and energy requirements.
>Or could I theoretically offload the thermionic waste through a rotating monopole array embedded in the ship’s hull lattice without violating the Bekenstein bound?Theoretically, if such a mechanism existed and if it allowed entropy dispersal efficiently enough (e.g., into higher dimensions or through quantum tunneling channels), you could avoid approaching the Bekenstein limit—but not violate it.
