RE: EmDrive — The Physics-Defying Thruster That NASA Is Puzzled Over

in #science9 years ago (edited)

Just to make it clearer: having one accepted paper does not mean anything. We have (many) examples of that.

Being peer-reviewed means that one or two experts reviewed the article and found it valuable. It does not mean that the results are necessarily correct or are the final words on the issue at stake.

But this is good hope, I agree.

PS: bookmarking the post, will read about this next week when I will have time and come back to it. You triggered my curiosity.

Yes, I know. That is why the further testing and also the testing in space. If they show that it works in space (managing to stay in orbit for longer periods of time), they will have to do work to understand the theory behind it.

The inventor of the EmDrive, Roger Shawyer, claims however that the drive doesn't break any laws of physics. We will have to wait and see for future investigations.
