Well, it's kinda hard to explain the existence of matter and energy without breaking a couple of "laws"
Current thinking is that the Universe created matter as it expanded by borrowing against gravitational potential energy (which is negative). So no, you don't have to break laws just to explain where the matter and energy originated.
Police in the states seem to be trained in conflict escalation - immediately point your firearm at the suspect - but I suppose that's a side effect of having an armed population.
I'm imagining here, but I reckon Brexitards are cool with the Snooper's Charter and big goverment surveillance. Partly because they're mortally fearful, cowardly people who want the government to give them the warm fuzzies by spying on them, and partly because they're fucking cunts.
The UK will not leave the EU until 2 years after Article 50 is triggered. At the moment, they're saying next March. So the UK will remain part of the EU until at least March 2019.
Some countries will bring in some kind of UBI, at least as an interrim measure until we work out what the hell to do. Obviously in the US you won't do that or anything even close to that, so you'll have gigantic slums and maybe even a sharp drop in population. But at least you won't be dirty commies.
The idea of placing an african ambassaor's opinion on poverty on a pedestal is laughable. We are almost certainly (if it's even a real story) talking about someone who lives in scandalous luxury compared to his fellow citizens. Saying he'd "rather be poor" than have a house for free rings more than a little fucking hollow. Talk is cheap.

Newton's laws don't posit virtual particle pairs. Just because it's incomplete doesn't make it wrong for what it is.
I say strap it to a spaceship.
A spaceship for ants?
They're unlikely to be propelling any satellites so I wouldn't worry overmuch.
Hmm. I bet Pons and Fleischmann are kicking themselves that they didn't get all their cold fusion trademarks in order.
If it works, sure. But it probably doesn't work.
The chair is pushing on the ground. Not a good analogy.
It still seems too good to be true. I hope it pans out but I very much doubt it.
No one doing the research is claiming such a violation. The journo is just making stuff up.
If they claim to have measured thrust, and nothing is coming out, then they are claiming a violation.
I'd like a theory now to explain why this was treated as a lunatic fringe thing for a decade.
Two reasons. One, it makes an extraordinary claim (thrust without reaction mass). Second, it has not provided evidence to prove that claim.
You're acting like this is done and dusted. Not by a fucking long shot.
No one understands how gravity works, after all, but you still use it daily.
General Theory of Relativity gives a brilliant breakdown of how gravity works, despite your declaration to the contrary.
They're scary in the same way that goblins are scary. Also, neither exists.
The only scary part is that we KNOW that some part of the laws of physics are WRONG.
We don't know that.
My money is still on the EM Drive being bullshit. I'll be excited as hell if it turns out to be real, but nothing so far has convinced.
I think the bottom line is nobody still knows how it works
How is still a ways off. We have not sorted out if it works yet. The effect size is very, very, small. I can see this evaporating into fuck-all.
You're the same guy who posted above about the Harley Davidson bikes aren't you. Your world salad is semi-distinctive, if completely unintelligible.
What a pile of gibberish. Can't even work out whose fucking side you're on. Well done mate.

Well, shooting people is exciting, isn't it.
This doesn't fit my concept of assault.
I really hate to break this to you mate, but nobody gives a fuck what your definition of assault is.
No. But I can imagine how a complete fool might see it that way.
Prosecution? This is a civil case. You're a fucking moron.
People with epilepsy will sue local police for turning on the lights and siren?
A complete idiot might think that, sure.
You have to be pretty mentally stunted to think that's the same thing.
