With Newtonian physics, if we could find something that wasn't symmetrical with regards to conservation of motion, we have a perpetual motion system and unlimited energy. So far, every process that converts energy from one form to another always has some loss due to friction or heat.

The system bounces microwaves inside a cone. When a photon hits the base of the cone, that pushes the vehicle forward as it bounces backwards. But the conical shape means that the next "bounce" of the photon will be distributed between a sideways movement and a small backwards movement. But because of the circular shape of the cone, the sideways movements cancel out. The forwards force is greater than the backwards force, so the final velocity is forwards.

To an outside observer. I don't think it's the same in the inertial frame.

Before we call this real, we need to put one on some object in orbit, leave it in continuous operation, and use it to raise the orbit by a measurable amount large enough that there would not be argument regarding where it came from. The Space Station would be just fine. It has power for experiments that is probably sufficient and it has a continuing problem of needing to raise its orbit.

And believe me, if this raises the orbit of the Space Station they aren't going to want to disconnect it after the experiment. We spend a tremendous amount of money to get additional Delta-V to that thing, and it comes down if we don't.

Thanks!

Brian Webb isn't listing this on his Vandenberg AFB Launch Schedule yet. I think he's going to wait until someone official tells him a date.

With some optimism that might only be thousands of years rather than hundreds of Millions.

But it's only necessary for Earth to be uninhabitable for a short time to end the Human race. And that can happen due to man or nature, today. If people aren't somewhere else during that process, that's the end.

Good point. I missed that. Thanks.

And wouldn't it be nice to end that secrecy?

If there is no secret data why are they fighting to keep it secret?

A good way to route around calls for openness and transparency to to be open and transparent, not to claim there's no secrets.

But thank you for the pointers to marketing information, I've read them all thanks.

I've read all of it. You haven't seen the above before have you? Admit it.

"So, basically a bunch of luddites on the payroll of major corporations are trying to ensure those corporations have access to whatever private data they need to discredit the science?"

That's right. So does the smartest man in the world. And the second smartest man in the world and so on.

If it's correct, it gains traction.

If it's wrong, we'll know.

This is how science works. It is the very definition of it.

Secret rules is how churches work not science.

Also, math is either right or wrong. Your amusing screed, which amounts to "guys smarter than me know you're wrong but I can't explain how" did not falsify anything I said. Yo literally do not understand what you're talking about.

It does not surprise me people you work with know more than you. The model is still wrong and that's still why it can't be used to craft public policy.

Care to put money on this?

I've read all that. It's what you haven't read is the problem.

When your opponent starts off with an adhiminem you know they have no data.

As for the great lakes, they froze early, thawed late and had 100 year record levels of ice; some froze completely which is nearly unprecedented and niagara falls froze twice in 2 years.

All signs of a warming world no doubt.

But please drag out the weasel words and explain this. Extra points or quoting "Skeptical science".
