I think it should be tolerated only as a necessary medical procedure. Not for convenience. And for people who don't agree with that there will be a black market. Thus everyone's needs will be served. The moralists can pretend they have stopped the practice and those who want it bad enough will be s...

Chris if you really want to delve into a full experiment / critique / response thread where all considerations are fully explored (that takes time and lots of words and diagrams for context) go to the propellentless propulsion thread in advanced tab on NasaSpaceFlight forum and search for the Mahood...

Truthfully, the guys surrounding the work of Woodward and March are world-class PhD's. They would never let something so obvious slip by. I am sure they have good PhD's. How many of them have got their PhD's for getting space ships moving by M-E thrust? Is the 'you aren't as well educated as me/som...

I'm not the one turning over the prevailing paradigm .... Can you point to the equations of Woodwards that show Conservation of Momentum is not violated? NB: I'm not even asking for experimental evidence, just the theory. I just stumbled into this thread. It looks from the run of this thread like i...

I think we all know the best use of polywell is SSTO earth-orbit launcher with high mass fraction. Just sayin'

That would no longer be true if they were nuclear because of the security risk involved should a well organized band assault the ship and take it. A fission reactor is worth more than the ship in these instances so one expects they would not be put aboard things like cargo craft. On the other hand,...

.....But, you still cannot spontaneously create momentum. It ultimately comes from whatever is pushing on the particle to begin with. Perhaps not in the mundane current universe, but this apparently happened in the big bang/ inflation, unless you assume something existed in some parent universe/ se...

Caution: center of mass of the universe is a high octane concept. Maybe I shouldn't have left it in eager hands with a box matches, like Mach-Effect thrust, lying around? Have fun with it, but try not to blow yourselves up. I won't provide a link to an Amazon website where you can purchase a refere...

Personally, I'd like something that nicely wraps this up with the Tajmar effect and the Pioneer anomaly. I'm still leaning toward Grand Unified Experimental Error as the likely winner, but I'd like to be wrong. So I've got folks saying 'why does [my] theory help?', well, here is an example: Locally...

blah blah blah, what does this add to understanding of the universe exactly? This is an accounting question, the same amount of information is present in both depictions of how I get to work. It is reductio ab nihil. I think this explanation is self-consistent (if of questionable utility) with rega...

Well, I think there is nothing left to say on this thread, as this has descended into a circle of friends clapping each other on the back with big-sounding, albeit hollow, concepts thrown about casually. You're forgetting the regular ranting by some combined, usually in the same post, with whines a...

Only a post-modern physicist could say this with a straight face and mean it. Not at all. A description of the universe which excludes the use of the idea of forces is entirely consistent* - more so than with that idea. We, as humans, have an experience of reality that is 'macroscopic' and is the a...

I think the whole concept is bonkers and the idea stems from a fundamental misunderstanding and belief that "forces" actually exist (rather than being derivative from "system-state" Only a post-modern physicist could say this with a straight face and mean it. ;-) (us fools who think that forces act...

The information aviable generates spectulation, entertainment, and stimulus for education. But, if EMC2 wanted my financial donation, they would need to be much more forthcomming with information.
