Please don't be the next 'neutrinos are faster than light'… I WANT TO BELIEVE, GOD DAMNIT.

Also does anyone knows if there's been some progress? Last thing I read, NASA successfully tested it in a vacumm.

as a young physics student, this shit just makes me want to flip a table.

Seriously? Is conservation of energy broken or something? I just learned that shit!


 No.2260

Yes there has been a vacuum test

heres the results from eagleworks using a Nasa lab.

Faster-than-light travel may be a possibility after an accidental discovery by NASA scientists, but researchers are cautioning observers not to get too excited about taking a week-long trip to Alpha Centauri just yet. The new engine technology — once believed to be impossible — is now successful in tests for the third time.

The electromagnetic (EM) propulsion drive, or EM Drive, which might make hyperspace travel possible bounces microwaves within a closed container in order to provide thrust. This very notion appears to be contrary to some of the most basic laws of physics, including Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. Traditional rocket engines are driven by this tenet of physics — as propellant is accelerated out through the exhaust of an engine, the movement creates an opposite reaction pushing the spaceship forward.

I just thought of something….

when you bang a drum….from the inside….

it makes sound……

when you bang particles off a piece of metal….

you get…..Space Sound??? The quantum vacuum like the molecules in the air ….have we touched it?

Was the answer music all along….

sweet music…. the beat to the celestial orchestra…. and our ships now play the strings

i really am reminded of this

Also , shit article OP

>This technology is a quantum leap

are they aware of what they just said

do they even know what fucking quantum means

>allow veriticle takeoff and landing of aircraft

what are harriers


 No.2291

>some of the laser beams had travelled faster than the speed of light

Light traveled faster than light.

Conservation of energy was broken in the 1930s. Inside nuclear reactors, matter is (literally) converted into energy. Look up:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass%E2%80%93energy_equivalence


 No.2328

>>2234

Energy is conserved in the EMdrive, the quantity that is not conserved here is momentum.

>>2323

Energy is conserved in a nuclear reaction, precisely because matter and energy are equivalent.

> allow vtol

> what is micro newton thrust


 No.2428

>>2291

No, it was measured to be arriving in the detector before it should have been, which means either

The light went faster than light

Or

The light went a shorter distance than it should have.
