So the chinese are making genetically modified humans and Nasa might have made a warp field eh?

>_>

What a time to be alive.

please happen

Oh · April 24, 2015, 12:48:01 PM

That's an impressive accident.

Also, why was it an accident?
I thought the experiment they were performing was meant to do exactly that.

Pseudoscience is fun.

Sorry to put a damper on the article, but this is bullshit. Details:

-First of all, saying something was posted on NASAspaceflight.com means nothing. It was a forum post. I could post a topic about how much I like the smell of my shit and it wouldn't have any endorsement from NASA.
-The EmDrive and Cannae Drive have basically been debunked. At the most, nobody really knows what results from the Chinese experiments even mean, if they're even significant in any way.
-This article is basically saying "this scientist thought of a way to make a warp field (basically an exact copy of a generic sci-fi warp field), but it's not possible because of power requirements". In reality, nobody has any sort of meaningful concept of this device. Saying it looks like "a football in a donut" is fucking retarded.
-Any results of light traveling faster than the speed of light need to be taken with a grain of salt because that law only applies in a vacuum, which is not the environment of the EmDrive experiments.

Warp engines are useless until defector shields are developed.

Shields and inertial dampeners are unnecessary because the ship inside the bubble would not really be moving, and wouldn't be interacting with any matter in normal space.

lots of theory and not a lot of solid evidence. its cool to think about at least. maybe one day soon we'll figure out advanced propulsion.

They are all utter shite, Farage is xenophobic shite as opposed to self serving shite. Someone who blames the NHS struggling on the immigrants knows absolutely jack fucking shit about how it really works and is just blaring the populist trumpet to rally up the mouthbreathers.

When you're warping you're warping space around you. So wouldn't things like dust be warped threw your ship so you need something to push the space junk out of your way?

That post never existed.

Well damn, turkey beat me.

Just call me extremely fucking skeptical.

Set up a shrine to NASA and am currently praying hoping this is real.

The Lord Slide Rule · April 24, 2015, 11:11:46 PM

Does Sonny even have a cogent theory for how the EM drive is supposed to work? The original creators theory is basically garbage.

>not running sensitive tests in vacuum

Bullshit. The article may be hasty and have some inaccuracies, but it doesn't mean it's not real.
