  1. Re: Experimental engines on NASA Contracting Development of New Ion/Nuclear Engines (nasaspaceflight.com) · · Score: 1

    I am not the GP. But yea the EMDrive is total bullshit. It is made up physics that was *shown* to be wrong but they went and did experiments that *showed* nothing outside errors and claimed it worked anyway. If it did work it would be a free energy device and it would mean all the laws of physics are different everywhere, like say in paris vrs NY. Since none of that is true and we have over 300 years of *experimental evidence* to back that up. The EMDrive is bullshit.

    The thrust of a EM drive is comparable to an ion thruster. If anything they claimed was even remotely true. It would be easy to show. But it is not true, it is bullshit. Turns out you can't get propulsion out of bullshit. Many have tried before. Hell even on of the EMdrive experimenters has a patent on an anti gravity drive. Yea real credible science right there.

    By definition that is not detecting anything. Detecting error is well detecting error. Also the experiments are sloppy as shit, it violates all laws nature we know of and they literally made up the theory that was proven wrong more than once.

    Or you could you know look at the data. There is a lot more than just this study about this. Fact is the data is not nearly as clear cut as the summary claims. What is clear is how crops handle not using pesticide, they don't. You know organic crops use pesticide right? You think you can just ask all the insects to be nice to your crop just because you decided it organic?

    You got a citation for the lacking of nutrition part? You won't find one. Because every study ever done has shown no real difference (well not quite true, one or two have shown organic to be *worse* because of the presence of fungus) between modern farming, and organic or whatever flavour of the week it is for "better nutrition". Proper blind studies have shown people can't tell the difference in taste either. Again not quite true. Some have shown people believe the "freshest and tastiest" is the modern farmed stuff.

Since like when do you need to read something if your already told it aggress with your preconceived bias. Note it does not really say what people thinks it says. In fact it pisses me off that such sloppy statistics gets in nature. But then the shittiest papers in any field are typically in nature or science.
