Not yet. The court has yet to rule on the Motion to Dismiss. I think that this may happen this week or next. It may well go to trial, but with a limited number of complaints, maybe even down to one, or none. I personally do not think all the complaints will stand, some of it seems non-sensical. Whi...

We're going to jury trial...or not???

This looks more like they agreed to allow a mediator with regard to discovery. Can't wait to get this started.

Related, some morons decided some random white cops needed to die in response to the recent highly publicized officer involved shootings. http://abcnews.go.com/US/suspect-dallas-ambush-shooting-idd-army-reservist/story?id=40422456 Cluebat time: shoot at cops at random and you give them incentive to...

My brother pointed out torsion pendulums capable of handling that kind of weight while still holding the necessary accuracy shouldnt be too terrobly common or too easy to make--most low thrust systens lIke Hall effect thrustern arent nearly as big. It would be sensible having spent some time and ef...

If we're discussing the basic emDrive and not assuming the above, the most robust and rigorous experimental result measurements have trended to 0. At this point, most of the hype is gone. If we're now considering the above, then as mentioned, this thing is useless and the numbers are clearly being f...

So "(W * h) / h" could be better stated as "(Joules per second * h) / h". Yeah the 'h' part cancels but the time element in Joules per second is not removed by that cancellation. This interminable and pointless thread really suffers from a poor command of basic understanding on both sides. It is te...

The payoff could be enormous. No risk, no reward.

If I had that much money on the line, I'd be as thorough, if not more.

Mats Lewan has met with Rossi in Sweden and has reported a number of new facts. • Three interim reports, about every three months, with basically the same results as in the final report, were provided by the ERV during the test. • During summer 2015, IH offered Rossi to back out from the test and c...

White's theory relies on pushing on or off of virtual particles and virtual particles are a mathematical representation similar to the use of imaginary numbers, so I wouldn't hold my breath on his theory. What you are describing is not White's theory at all, but a thought experiment by Alcubierre wh...

Rather pitiful though how triumphant they're all sounding that we're stuck with hugely expensive, explosion-prone rockets as the only way off Earth for the foreseeable future. Science cares not for what we desire to be true, it deals only in actual truth. Nobody is feeling happy or triumphant that ...

I would love to see a well done experiment with proper data sets, error bars, just a full characterization. People keep trying to throw theories at a yet to be observed thrust. I say yet to be observed because nobody has spent the time to characterize their random and systematic errors or even provi...

It could be noted that Tajmar has been on the "oh those darn artifacts fooled me again" end of the stick several times. I'll give him credit that he eventually does admit if/when he's wrong, but he's had a few gotcha moments. That being said, since Shawyer wants to remain secretive and I don't expe...

I think the acid test is to launch a cube sat, and see what happens when it's EM-Drive is turned on. If it moves, then we can consider the device proven, and if it doesn't, then everyone can quit wasting time with it. Quoted the part I have issue with currently. As far as I know, most cube sats are...
