#2I am going to be very happy when I come across an explanation to this that makes sense to me. Certainly interesting stuff, regardless of whether it works. We're going to learn something either way. Yeah, science!

Yeah, we're going to learn that some experimenters are sloppy.

How many times do these results need to be replicated before you'll believe them?
So far the thrust results have been replicated more than the majority of economics and social science research (i.e. more than zero times).

The paper itself details a range of mundane error sources (including thermal expansion) that still haven't been ruled out as the cause of the observed thrust.

It violates the conservation of momentum; so it needs to replicated many many times.

#7Before anyone gets too excited, remember that there are hundreds of papers "proving" that humans have psychic powers.

Its amazing to me how many people who purportedly believe in science act more like priests than scientists. Science is about drawing conclusions from empirical data, not ignoring empirical data that doesn't jive with your predetermined conclusions.

What tablet did god write this law on?

That hardly suggests that there's a new Emdrive paper, and the linked blog doesn't have sufficient detail about the paper to suggest that the paper is new either.
