EM Drive

[Owen Densmore]

What was once thought to be a kooky-science space propulsion engine, the EM Drive has been proven to be real:

Unfortunately it appears to violate Newton's third law re: action/reaction in traditional thrust based rocket engines.

Several attempts to reconcile how the EM Drive works have odd side effects. The current favorite is an unusual alternative to the traditional interpretation of quantum mechanics, "Pilot Wave" theory:

Ruth, Bruce and others: is this quackery?

If not, it certainly is going to be a Brave New World!

Geez, do you think the study might be a bit bogus?
