I am sure this was discussed in some prior post somewhere. Especially after NASA 'tentatively' confirmed something was happening.

I just got around to reading the NASA paper as well as the Chinese paper that spurred interest with their reported high-end thrust findings.

One thing I noted between the two papers was that the Chinese were able to detect thrust 100x+ over what NASA reported for the same experimental set-up.

Now I want this drive to work as advertised more than anything. If verified, it would point to a whole new area of physics to explore and, just perhaps, get out of this conundrum of Newton-Quantum irreconcilability.

However, I was more than disillusioned after comparing the two papers. The order of magnitude difference between the thrust NASA detected and what the Chinese reported is NOT a good thing. It points to experimental error as a reason for the discrepancy. It doesn't take a genius to reason that if there is that much experimental error in the Chinese experiment it follows that the tiny thrust NASA found is just a little more error creeping through.

Pesse (I want to got to Orion and see the green slave girls!) Mist
