anyway, CuriousKid posted the following 1) His theory requires non-local interactions (is not compatible with SR and causality) 2) The "mach" comes from his theory claiming mass is due to the interactions with the rest of the universe (including interactions propagating back in time) So, in my opini...

pardom my ignorance... but while such dragging might make a thruster based on the ME effect unfeasible, it would still prove Mach Effect itself, wouldnt it? Still material for a nobel prize, as far as I see.

It's not proxy data. It's a direct measurement of CO2 levels in air trapped in bubbles in the ice. Bubbles in ice have their problems. CO2 drifts in ice. That could lead to low and uniform CO2 levels in older ice. Which makes the CO2 in the ice a proxy for the actual CO2 levels. you assume thousand...
