Bloody brilliant. Next time it's my round i will get them homeopathic beer! Or whiskey :D.

So all web browsers must use this mandatory memory model regardless of underlying platform? Does JS give you access to this? You use those opcodes in normal applications?

I have my doubts.

Lets be clear. If it is as general as js it won't be safe. There will be bugs, there will be issues, there will be stupid users that click "Yes debit my credit card $1000 and upload all my personal information.

Sure there will be sandboxes, but they have bugs and errors too.

It tends to be linear because art assets are so bloody expensive these days. Oh and everyone complains if you don't have "XX hours of gameplay.. on the super easy settings".

For a laugh i once calculated the neutrino "jet pack" plausibility. Apart from MW and GW of required power, *even* neutrinos in sufficient momentum density do interact enough to still burn the legs off. :D

More seriously: About the only thing that would work is go bigger, ie a back pack gyro or something.

This is false. If it produces neutrons it can be used to breed Pu. If it can breed Pu its a proliferation risk plain and simple. Oh and even *without* breeding Pu, U233 can and *was* used in a bomb and since Thorium reactors need to reprocess, then the gammas have to be dealt with anyway, so again still doesn't fix proliferation.

We are working on the cure. Probably will be too late for us however. Probably.

matter and energy may be equivalent. But neither is momentum.

NO they didn't. They had a small scale reactor that ZERO breading. That had issues with Corrosion and other problems. Perhaps you should read what oak ridge actually did before spouting off like the tool you are.

True, but that is getting a little pedantic for the level of discussion here.

Gravity is a force *between* things. You fall to earth and the earth falls up to you.

Nope... If there is no reaction mass, then its over unity regardless of how much energy it consumes in some characteristic time. It is easy to prove.

And lets put a magnet on it! Magnets, how do they work?

If momentum is not conserved. Neither is energy nor relativity. So all those experiments must be in error somehow... or your wrong. Forces are *between* things, so momentum is conserved. So is energy and its all relative.

A good scientist doesn't waste time on bullshit. And violating momentum conservation is bullshit.

If they are asserting the same claims as the EM drive. Then i hope so.

reactionless propulsion in a vacuum means free energy. Literally it is an over unity device. Yea pretty safe to call bullshit if that is what is claimed.

Oh and this is in newscientist. If you want shit science stories its the place to go. For good stuff, not so much.
