This young woman needs to be taken to the US or UK at the first opportunity.
She has no future in Egypt, and could possibly be in danger, since the ideal of a woman scientist is probably enough to send some Islamist over the edge.

“In short her system taps one of the odder facets of quantum theory, which posits that space isn’t really a vacuum. It’s really filled with particles and anti-particles that exist for infinitesimally small periods of time before destroying each other.”
“Propulsion in space is incredibly easy to achieve because there aren’t any particles to get in the way...”
So which is it? :)

Science fiction writers have been positing such propulsion systems for years finding one that functions in the real world that is another story.

Sounds like she may be plagerizing from A Gedanken Spacecraft that Operates Using the Quantum Vacuum (Dynamic Casimir Effect).

It's horribly technical,As are the explanations for most "scientific" scams.
and figure out how to get funding for the ambitious adventure
Can anyone say "suckers?"

Mustafa thinks she can harness them to create propulsion
Always the weasel words.
