Re: Relativity drive

Another way to think of the em-drive....

Does a laser exhibit recoil?

Yet, it emits a large amount of directed energy from one side...

So - doesn't it stand to reason, that the emission of nearly massless particles from the magnetron into a tuned cavity, can impart mass to the far wall of the tuned cavity?

Newtonian physics don't apply here - again, does the laser exhibit a force vector in direct opposition to it's directed energy?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
