What penalties does anyone at the Navy face if this isn't real?

None, zip, zilch, nada, zero.

If it were real, it'd be a national security secret of the sort people go to jail forever for revealing, not a patent.

Check out this dude's patents: https://patents.google.com/?inventor=salvatore+pais&oq=salva... Laser augmented turbojet propulsion system Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device Electromagnetic field generator and method to generate an electromagnetic field Plasma Compression Fusion Device High frequency gravitational wave generator Piezoelectricity-induced Room Temperature Superconductor

Just going off the titles, at least 1, 4 and 6 are possibly not bs.

Laser augmented combustion is a thing, compression fusion like general fusion or first light fusion is a thing and if you use piezoelectricity to induce pressure, then at very high pressures some materials become superconductors near room temperature

Parents can be marked confidential. There is a special process for filing patents surrounding national security.

"If it can be achieved, nuclear fusion would be a massive improvement over fission in that it produces much lower levels of radioactive waste and greenhouse gases, does not require enriched nuclear material that could be used to produce weapons" thermonuclear weapons are fusion yield devices using fission to ignite a fusion fuel. a fusion bomb, or other such weapon is probably closer to production than fusion derived…

Thermonuclear weapons have existed longer than I have been alive. It would appear that the first one was tested in 1952: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermonuclear_weapon#History

spacetime can be warped out of a normal geodesic and provide propulsion or other energetic beaming. approximately 2 milligrams of mass in a plank volume will produce singularity, but a singularity weapon is not the goal, its the directed warping of spacetime that is being sought out for now.

Last week Rogan had Capt Fravor who was one of the alleged witnesses to the "tictac" video that the pentagon confirmed the legitimacy of 2 years ago. Worth watching if you're into this kind of thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eco2s3-0zsQ

On Rogan's forum, I posted an explanation of how these Navy "UFOs" work. I've included a history of their progress and citations:

If is real, I'm incredibly excited!

You just triggered some intense deja vu. I had the exact same response after Pons and Fleischman's press conference back in the day.

The lure of the magic-bullet/deus-ex-Machina, (that one device that will solve pretty much everything!), can be pretty intoxicating.

I did some searching, and apparently lying about this is punishable with up to 5 years imprisonment: https://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/mpep-9015-appx-l....
