Is the em drive a meme?

It's a meme.

[Anonymous No.9003131]

>>9003127
Why?

[Anonymous No.9003141]

>>9003131
Why do you think it isnt? That's the more rational question.
It's obviously nonsense

[Anonymous No.9003145]

>>9003141
Well argumented,

It's literally just a strangely shaped microwave, the physics of that is well known. Yet because some guys found a barely above background "thrust", its suddenly taken seriously by pop-scientists. This is despite the fact that there's numerous problems with the experiments that they've run (see: https://tu-dresden.de/ing/maschinenwesen/ilr/rfs/ressourcen/dateien/forschung/folder-2007-08-21-5231434330/ag_raumfahrtantriebe/JPC---Direct-Thrust-Measurements-of-an-EM-Drive-and-Evaluation-of-Possible-Side-Effects.pdf)) and the theoretical problems (it violates conservation of energy and is a non-relativistic effect, despite people claiming that it can be explained using relativity). Couple that with the principle scientists going straight to the public via various forums. The whole thing just stinks of bad science and other frauds (although in this case I don't think it's fraudulent) of the past.
