EmDrive: NASA Eagleworks' Peer-Reviwed Paper Is On Its Way (ibtimes.co.uk)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from International Business Times UK: An independent scientist has confirmed that the paper by scientists at the NASA Eagleworks Laboratories on achieving thrust using highly controversial space propulsion technology EmDrive has passed peer review, and will soon be published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). Dr Jose Rodal posted on the NASA Spaceflight forum -- in a now-deleted comment -- that the new paper will be entitled "Measurement of Impulsive Thrust from a Closed Radio Frequency Cavity in Vacuum" and is authored by "Harold White, Paul March, Lawrence, Vera, Sylvester, Brady and Bailey." Rodal also revealed that the paper will be published in the AIAA Journal of Propulsion and Power, a prominent journal published by the AIAA, which is one of the world's largest technical societies dedicated to aerospace innovations. Although Eagleworks engineer Paul March has posted several updates on the ongoing research to the NASA Spaceflight forum showing that repeated tests conducted on the EmDrive in a vacuum successfully yielded thrust results that could not be explained by external interference, those in the international scientific community who doubt the feasibility of the technology have long believed real results of thrust by Eagleworks would never see the light of day.

No, I just think you guys are pathetic. You would be better off actually contributing to society than spouting your drivel and dreaming about leaving it. You guys are narcissists.

No, some far-flung descendant COULD NOT go there. It isn't possible. There are basic laws of Physics. They are immutable. The problem with you space nutters is that you are narcissists and are intellectually lazy. You just spout science fiction and ignore basic science with handwaving. You think that the basic foundation of Physics and science is going to change, because you watched Star Trek. It isn't. You would be much better off stop being so narcissistic and contribute to society. You aren't going anywhere, you might as well do something useful while you are here on Earth.

hare brained "skepticism"

[eyenot]

I really get tired of the whole modern age skeptic culture. Yeah, I get it that in order to learn and master science you kind of have to get interested in it. And yeah I get it that having some dummies to shoot down helps you improve your aim. But the universe isn't all dummies, and not all experimental scientists are dummies either.

At any rate, skepticism in our culture is so profoundly ingrained that even when you see people accepting a new theory they are still finding a way to shoot it down to keep themselves comfortable.

You wouldn't actually use a set of these things to push a fucking rocket around space, morons. You would put a set of these things around an axis like a chinese fire wheel, and allow their greater than 100% efficiency to spin them around the axis producing a limitless energy production in the zero gravity.

Then you would harness the power they're generating and do something like fire an incredibly silly, impossibly powerful laser and ride the equal and opposite reaction to quickly achieving absurd speeds.
