it could still produce some thrust in space if the theory about it interacting with Earth's magnetic field is true. it wouldn't bring us to Mars but it could mean that we could stop putting propellant on satellites in low Earth orbit, basically we get free repositioning and orbital corrections around Earth. it would probably be most helpful when it comes to satellites pointed at Earth. they can reposition to wherever they want to gather data on whatever their mission is and have an almost unlimited lifespan. this is also all assuming that the engine can actually overcome drag because there's still atmosphere in space just not a lot of it.

Yeah in that case it might function more like the electric sail or plasma magnet concepts deployed in LEO, i.e. interacting with the magnetic field to over time drag it into the atmosphere and burn up, now those 2 methods are also claimed to be able to generate thrust by interacting with the solar wind but need to be deployed outside of the Earths magnetic field to work that way, don't know if the same is true for the Quantum drive since that seems to interact with this "Unruh effect" rather than the solar wind.

I mean, if it _is_ that then these are _very_ bad scientists (maybe it's an acceptable standard for start-up engineers though :).

(you don't need to go somewhere "away from any magnetic fields", just test it in Earth's ambient field then test it in applied magnetic fields of different strengths, directions etc. Unless the proposal is that _Earth's_ magnetic field is "magic" in some way then IF the measured effect is coupled to magnetic fields it should vary and we have a big clue as to mechanism)

What Einstein was talking about when he said spooky action at a distance was the measurement postulate. And what is ironic was that Einstein's position on the matter was the fringe one at that time and today, although that is changing now that better computers are showing that the measurement postulate might be false after all and Einstein might have been right.

I've been following UFO topic for a few decades ever since I had my own personal experience with few tens of random witnesses and I'm very sceptical when it comes to information that's out there. But the more you look into this the weirder it becomes and harder to dismiss, if not even impossible at this point. And I'm talking evidence from high profile people with professional backgrounds, not some random quacks and schizophrenics. But most barely scratch the surface and therefore have the luxury of quickly brushing things aside and laugh about it. I believe this is a real phenomena and really strange why would governments go such lengths to shut people down who said a thing or two about this topic (blocking careers to them and many people around them that had nothing to do with it is one of the first things they do) and there's countless cases like that. My initial reaction about mummies however was, I laughed. They seem so fake to me. But as time passed and now that they did more analysis on the specimens from multiple labs around the world, things are getting stranger. I still don't believe it until more concrete evidence is put out but it's giving me second thoughts. This decade will be wild ride and even wilder for anyone who's dismissing this topic, I'm sure.

You can start by not parroting the propaganda lie of "fossil fuels" since these "fuels" have absolutely nothing to do with fossils nor fuel from fossils. It was invented to give the illusion of scarcity in order to drive up and inflate prices at or near the turn of the 20th century. Similar to what they did with diamonds when they were worth little to nothing before the marketing campaigns were set upon the ignorant masses.

We have the technology now in solar+wind+storage. It’s significantly cheaper than fossil fuels & nuclear. With a bonus of make if humanity much less susceptible to the chaos that will follow global blackouts if/when we are hit by the next Miyake event scale solar flare. Distributed energy generation & storage is the key. Solving our dependence on fossil fuels & centralized generation may end up saving billions of lives.

@@pirobot668betait’s not just “a new kind of thruster” it’s a massless thruster. Which would disprove multiple laws of physics, and laws of thermodynamics. The conversion of energy to velocity without mass is currently science fiction. A thruster capable of this WOULD be capable of “eventual” light speed travel. Yes it would take a ridiculous time to accelerate to that speed but once you breach relativistic speeds it doesn’t matter how long it took to get to that speed, just that you got to it.

⁠@@CorwynGC smell has a point. Maybe pattern is not the right word but thermodynamics is based on statistical physics. Whereas for example gravity is a law, thermodynamics is based on statistics of how systems behave on large scales, or rather TEND to behave. In the same sense that there’s a non-zero probability of tunneling to the moon spontaneously, there is also a non-zero chance of entropy to decrease in a closed system, although it violates the laws of thermodynamics

Well, there is ONE way to generate thrust using nothing but electricity, but the technology as of yet isn't very efficient; light propulsion.
