Obviously, a virtual plasma toroid is created that could realize net thrust using magnetohydrodynamic forces acting upon quantum vacuum fluctuations.

It works. Why the hell wouldn't you promote it??mistermack wrote:Oh yeh, I was going by the quote.rEvolutionist wrote:That has been one of the queries about this. Did you read the article? They discuss this.
They haven't explained it though. If you accelerate a heavy space craft to mind-blowing speeds, that's a hell of a lot of momentum in the direction of Mars.
They haven't said where the equal and opposite momentum is at all.
That is an embarrassingly bad omission which make it look like bollocks.
What kind of scientist would promote something like this without explaining how momentum is conserved?

If it looks too good to be true then usually it is. The face I mean.

If it doesn't use reaction mass, at first sight it looks like you are creating momentum out of nothing. A heck of a lot of it, in a space vehicle that can travel to Mars at blinding speeds.

I don't believe it does work. I don't believe it doesn't work.
But I do believe it PROBABLY won't work.

They are confirming that it works. Can you not read?? It's been shown to work in multiple labs across the world.

I read in the article specifically that it has NOT been confirmed by other labs or teams and that an error remains a possibility...
