That is true Robin. And if momentum can be imparted upon the vacuum then perhaps this is a hint that warp drives might be possible.

The continual application of a device such as this will result in a ignificant amount of kinetic energy along with momentum being imparted upon the ystem. Clearly, a violation of conservation of momentum results. As I have suggested in the past, the only way this could work is if momentum is mparted to the vacuum itself, i.e. to the universe as a whole, thus allowing omentum to be conserved. snip] egards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
