Alain,
I hadn't kept up with the EM drive, great to hear it is
producing thrust! I have supported it in the past as a related technology and
made a response to a comment at
http://www.me-sapiens.com/the-e-cat-and-the-emdrive-two-unicorns-that-might-change-the-world-tomorrow/
that stated "On page 8 of this paper, Shawyer calculates the velocity of
each plate the waves hit. He does not treat these quantities as if they are
equal, which is a problem because they are the same device, which does not
stretch or move apart."
My reply..
Ok, but if SR is invoked then one area could "contract" relative to the other..
all 3 space seems equivalent to the Paradox twins, time dilation and Lorentzian
contraction are unobservable to the local observer, I also recall something
about modifications to spontaneous emissions being known to occur in a
microwave cavity - perhaps we have some sort of segregation of virtual particle
pairs by size like you have in Casimir effect where only smaller particles can
fit between the plates.. I do have a relativistic interpretation of Casimir
effect where the longer vacuum wavelengths still exist between the plates but
contract space-time to fit between the remaining space.. If you combine that
with the "normal" 3 space observations of the Paradox twins it supports a
"real" forth dimension perpindicular to our "ant farm" existence..
conservation isn't violated but you are exchanging time for space - you get
propulsion but something else gets older faster.

Subject: EXTERNAL: Re: [Vo]:Sci Am Attacks Cold Fusion yet again
quite classic to use LENR as a bashing tool.
see that article that claim EmDrive is 21th century cold fusion
http://johncostella.wordpress.com/2013/06/16/the-emdrive-the-cold-fusion-of-the-21st-century/
I would like, but I have few hope (unlike LENR which is experimental science,
EmDrive is theory based with weak nonreproduced evidences...)
by the way on the same subject, but much more enthusiast

I track some data on emdrive

in case something emerge... however, hum... more chance than a lottery ticket.

I was just reading the July 2013 addition of Scientific American and was
dismayed by a negative reference to cold fusion hidden within one of the
articles. The title of the article is "In Search of a Mind-Reading Machine"
and at the very end of the 5th paragraph is a sentence that compares the
performance of various recognition softwares to cold fusion.
The comparison suggests that marketers temp people with recognition types of
products that do not work, hence the comparison. I guess that magazine has no
respect for our field just as others have reported many times. One day they
will realize how ignorant they are when these products become commonplace.
Let's hope that the time of reckoning is near.
Dave
