New paper claims that the EM Drive doesn't defy Newton's 3rd law after all


FIONA MACDONALD 16 JUN 2016

Physicists have just published new calculations that suggest the controversial EM drive - or electromagnetic drive - could actually work, and doesn't defy Newton's third law after all.

According to their new peer-reviewed study published in AIP Advances, the EM drive doesn't actually defy Newton's third law, because it does produce exhaust.

If this in fact turns out to be true then space travel will be a lot more efficient.

Very interesting. That paper opens some interesting thoughts, considering that paired electrons are thought to be the key to super conducting in some material. Now we see paired photons creating a propulsive effect. Paired, out of phase. Interesting.
