Can NASA's Impossible EM Drive Revolutionize Space Travel?

AI Thread Summary
NASA's recent tests suggest that the EM Drive may indeed function, sparking interest in its potential to revolutionize space travel. The concept remains controversial, with skeptics comparing it to previous unverified claims like faster-than-light neutrinos. The need for substantial evidence to support such groundbreaking assertions is emphasized, as extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Discussions around the EM Drive are restricted in certain forums, indicating the contentious nature of the topic. Continued research and validation will be crucial to determine the viability of this technology.

For now I'm filing this in the same bucket as the faster-than-light neutrino from last year. Big claims need big confirmation.
 
This is one of the topics that we do not allow, even to debunk.

Thread 'How feasible is home radio astronomy?'

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
