Read the link in twistors post. It pretty thoroughly debunks it.

To pseudoscience then?

Your the boss, but it seems appropriate.

!	GENERAL MODNOTE OK troops....hope you've had your 3 pints of bitter and have your peanuts at hand. About to transmat out of here...

...and relax.

You may find that your towels have traversed from your feet to your head. Don't worry about it.

However, any further jumps may require the infinite improbability drive. Be warned.

Well from what I understand is that they did it in a near vacuum and had force but they haven't done it in a complete vacuum. Also, I don't think anyone has tried to replicate this experiment. If, and it's a big if, it works in a complete vacuum, then we'll need another lab to replicate that result before anyone should run off screaming "We have impulse engines!" If it is a real effect, I don't know of any theory that would explain it as it's a violation of 1+ conservation laws.

You can get them from China off ebay

Are you sure?

Yeah but you don't know when it will arrive.

did you see what I did then?

'They' also discovered Arsenic Life!!!!

Does that sound too good to be true? Excellent. This isn’t the first time that this theoretical drive—tested by a small lab called Eagleworks, based at NASA’s Johnson Space Center—has surfaced. Every time it comes up, it gets the space nerds frothing about the possibility of interstellar travel. And every time, physicists have to settle everyone down.

This time is like those times.

What happens at post 42?

We jumped back in time to post 29, having discovered the meaning of life. Life is so much more fun at 29.

I'd like to see independent verifification of these results, especially as they were produced by Harold White!

I suspect that Harold needs a course in philosophy of science, because he is clearly sticking to his falsified ideas, even though he helped falsify them himself!

Nobody denies the truth so much as one whose pay check depends on that denial.

Why do you ask? Are you still "stuck in a rut" of support for White's pseudoscience?

I already put in an order for 3.....or was that zero....damn....

Have you read this thread. Bashing a man who show greater understanding of the theories in question because you have why? What is your point what do you even have to add to the conversation. You shown no understanding the math or the physics. Why even bother.

Again if you read the thread I know there are more likely solutions to anomalous acceleration then acceleration of virtual particles. That doesn't mean that you aren't far wronger then Dr. White.
