Thank you. But science can change with new advances. It is just such a difficult instrument to measure.

This reads more like an opinion piece than anything else.. In one paragraph the authour states that it's impossible to violate the laws of conservation bu in another they state that our knowledge of science isn't complete. They also seem to gloss over the fact that every time a group has tested the Em/Cannae Drivem they have observed the expected thrust. Whether or not the device is producing thrust isn't the only question. If multiple groups of scientists cannot create an experiment that can disprove the Drive, then there are two possible options:

(A) Either the Drive works (YAY!) and we have to figure out why/how is actually produces thrust.

(B) Our understanding of science is flawed as we cannot disprove the Drive easily.

The whole point of this is that we learn more about science. If we can get a functional Impulse Drive out of the deal, then great. If not, then at least we can figure out why this drive produces such odd results and build from it. The mere fact that we cannot easily disprove it means that there is something to learn. In fact, we already know for certain that we have gaps in our understanding of physics since the drive currently exists. If we knew more, we'd know why is supposedly works. If we knew more, we'd know why it produces these results regardless of it's validity.

It's just ego. No one who thinks they have an understanding of science wants to admit someone else figured out something that fundamentally changes important aspects of that.

Why doesn't someone just build a big version of it? It seems like all of the debate is a result of the extremely tiny amount of thrust the engine produces.

this is a fantastically crappy attempt at clickbaiting.

Thank you all for the comments. Thanks to you, my click has not been baited.

I still believe in the EM propulsion system! Praise the stars!

Let's not pursue this propulsion lest we irreparably damage subspace.

Dumb article. Even if nasa didn't prove that it worked, the UK, the ESA and China did. They all said the same thing: it works but we don't know why
