The EM Drive is basically dead, not even r/EmDrive believes in

>Eagleworks needs to go, they enabled this bullshit like all the other pseudoscientific sci-fi crap like warp drive that they legitimize to the story-hungry media with the NASA logo. They have produced nothing of value ever.
Seriulsy. They reported a thrust, and then I never heard anything again. Wtf happened? Was it just to get people interested in NASA?

>>9030194
Except they didn't, they reported a thrust that was "within our error bars but we think it's interesting" and popsci ran with that.

>>9030189
Big fucking surprise. Only idiots fell for it, which is why it was called the memedrive in the first place

>>9030189
I don't think the physics community fell for this, just the media and amateurs who think know about physics.

Any serious journal doubted the results from the start.

But it made for a good story because "magic physics" and people love that.

>>9030189
And /sci/ knew it from the beginning. Get fucked /x/.

I... Really want to believe you, but if you have some news article from an official source saying the EM drive is dead published more recent than most of those, I'd really love to see it.

what I find fascinating is the similarity in principle between the EM drive and the recently released TR3b UFO patent, in that they both derive physical thrust from interactions of EM waves.
We've all seen examples of sonic levitation where focused sound waves levitate a water droplet.
I know the interactions between a flowing current in the form of an electron beam and a nearly standing wave can produce unexpected results.
It just tickles my mind that we're missing something here.

It was just a hypothesis proven wrong. Happens all the time in science. But since /sci/ is 12the graders and freshman/ sophomores with no research exposure, they wouldn't know that and think 9/10 scientists come up with genius infallable ideas every time.

Because they didn't. Unless by "physics community" you mean ironic shitposters on /sci/ in which case the answer should be obvious.

Why is this surprising AT ALL?

What has Neil DeGrasse Tyson said about EMDrive?

>>9030189
could you provide sources/evidence that they actually failed miserably? i'm quite interested
