#2Seems like the previously leaked 1.2 ± 0.1 mN/kW is true. I look forward to seeing it tested in space to finally see if its real or not.

#3As always, the relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/955/
While I don't really believe it, I am intrigued by the possibility. It has been a long time since we learned anything truly new in physics. The recent breakthroughs (Higgs boson, gravitational waves, for example) were satisfying, but not surprising. I would desperately like to be surprised.

#4Paper listed in article, https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/10.2514/1.B36120, appears to cost well over a thousand dollars to access. I found https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/201700... online; I think it's the same thing.

#6This was published November 17, 2016. It's been officially published for several months.

The first link loaded a PDF for me.

Ahh, it looks like I didn't notice the PDF link. My mistake.

#9The quote of interest (being able to be tested in months) references another article where nothing has been committed but could be done in 6 months.
On one hand it's great that this is being reviewed and tested. The other hand, that it's not getting properly tested in space where it really can make a difference is somewhat saddening. Can anyone point to a committed space trial?

1. studies consistently are showing that this seems to produce thrust without expelling any matter
2. we know that can't be possible
I think most people are excited about this not because they think we just proved 2 to be wrong, but instead because we know 2 must be true, so what the hell is going on with 1???
Most likely we will find out that we are NOT violating the known laws of the universe, but we're "not violating" them in a very interesting way.
