Wonder what the acceleration and deceleration would have to be to get to the moon in 4 hours and if a living organism could withstand those forces.
About 2g's I think. Easily survivable. Almost comfortable. But no matter what reporters say, this will never be 'warp drive'.
This engine has so many problems with it. I'm really happy the previous results are verified by a lab known for it's attention to detail, and in a proper vacuum, but there are many questions.
Like, why is the moment of inertia directed always in the same direction, no matter the orientation of the engine? How about all the experiments we have verifying Newtons laws, and how this seems to break them?
If it's true, then it's an amazing discovery! But there are many things that need to be answered first.
Where did it say moment of inertia is always directed in the same direction regardless of orientation?
Couple ideas:
First is that perhaps the conservation of momentum is preserved in that the equal and opposite reaction to the thrust is the de-acceleration of the same matter-energy system that was accelerated. Instead of the equal and opposite force occurring at the same spot in the temporal dimension on two different systems, it occurs at different spots in the temporal dimension on the same system.
Second is that we don't know what Dark Matter/Energy is just yet. What if Dark Matter/Energy flows in currents throughout the universe, and whatever dark magic is occurring in this engine to make it tick acts like a sail and catches one of these currents?
