NASA May Have Invented a Warp Drive
IGN ^ | April 28, 2015 | David Porter

Posted on 04/28/2015 11:32:50 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The EmDrive, an experimental propulsion device, may be producing a warp field.

According to posts on the NASA Space Flight forum, when lasers were fired into the EmDrive resonance chamber, it was found that some of the beams were travelling faster than the speed of light.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

If this is true, then it would mean that the EmDrive is producing a warp field or bubble. A forum post says that "this signature (the interference pattern) on the EmDrive looks just like what a warp bubble looks like. And the math behind the warp bubble apparently matches the interference pattern found in the EmDrive."

Nothing has been confirmed yet, but it could mean that NASA is one step closer to achieving faster than light travel. This will be especially useful if there are any developments in its renewed search for extraterrestrial life.

If the government is telling you about it now (whatever "it" is) they've had it for at least 30 years.

This sort of thing has been announced before. And then it was found out that the scientists had mis-calibrated their equipment.

“Faster than light travel”.. Hmmmm, how does one slow the body down in such a matter all organs remain intact? LOL Slooowwwwwwwwwwly.

Einstein was a human being, the same as you and me.

So how do they know it is going faster than light? What instrumentation did they use? Color me skeptical.

” when lasers were fired into the EmDrive resonance chamber, it was found that some of the beams were travelling faster than the speed of light. “

So if you put an entire PC motherboard and CPU in the chamber would this mean you can over-over-clock it?

If you are referring to the neutrino experiment, it turned out to be a loose cable.

Kinda funny. NASA’s internet filter completely blocks access to IGN.com.

Not exactly how the physics works, assuming this is correct.

Occam's Razor:

What's more likely; We've exceeded the speed of light, or someone screwed up?

No, there is room in his theory for this.

But like Newton is correct when not going too fast, Einstein is correct unless you change the rules.

It’s BS! Even light doesn’t travel the theoretical speed of light. E=mc^2 has never been proven...it just makes sense mathematically with other constants.
