![]() ![]() Roger Shawyer, a British scientist who invented the EmDrive, says that the industry has moved past far past Nasa's tests of the space propulsion technology, a space technology race is ongoing amongst private companies Roger Shawyer, Satellite Propulsion Research Ltd "General relativity is all about space/time and is the next step on from special relativity, but I don't need to go any further than special relativity for EmDrive." Why EmDrive and 'Warp Drive' are two completely different things "The one link between these exotic physics concepts like warp drive and quantum vacuum plasma, which go against mainstream physics, is that they rely on Einstein's theory of general relativity. I told the Daily Mail you could get to the moon in four hours with EmDrive, but it's not warping there in less than a second, it's using quantum mechanics. "It's all nonsense, and NASA's right to try to suppress this. They just focused on EmDrive, but the problem is, Eagleworks focuses on advanced propulsion, and they did mention the warp drive concept before at some point," Shawyer said. "Actually what happened is the guys at Eagleworks at Nasa did an experiment where they shot a laser through a cavity. The scientist has told IBTimes UK he has been completely misrepresented. The problem is that some media vehicles, such as Mashable, The Independent, Forbes and NBC who didn't understand what EmDrive is, began equating it with this "warp drive" sci-fi concept, and now that Nasa says it doesn't work, ergo that means EmDrive doesn't work.įollowing Nasa's denial that it was working on a warp drive, on 14 May Shawyer was interviewed by the Daily Mail, for a story which claimed he invented Star Trek's warp speed. However forum users looking at the experiment results also found that when lasers were fired into the EmDrive's resonance chamber, some of the laser beams had travelled faster than the speed of light, which would mean the EmDrive could have produced a warp bubble, also known as a warp drive. On 29 April, Nasa scientists wrote an article on Nasa Spaceflight that they had tested British scientist Roger Shawyer's controversial electromagnetic space propulsion technology called EmDrive and were unable to disprove their results, indicating that the technology worked. "Nasa is not working on warp drive technology." "While conceptual research into novel propulsion methods by a team at Nasa's Johnson Space Center in Houston has created headlines, this is a small effort that has not yet shown any tangible results," Nasa officials told. Nasa has confirmed that it's definitely not working on warp drive technology, but if you look carefully, they haven't said anything about EmDrive, which is where the real story is. The media says Roger Shawyer invented the "warp drive" - a sci-fi concept from Star Trek, but his technology definitely isn't faster than the speed of light IBTimes UK ![]()
