The problem is, as New Scientist explains, it's entirely theoretical and many physicists admit they don't understand the science behind it.
No reason to stop exploring the idea. Theory leads to discovey.
BTW, ckilmer, you should've edited out the ads.

I have no idea what they're talking about here, and I note the skepticism, but something new in the way of space travel machinery is needed.

This sounds infinitely improbable.

Sounds like a Spin-Dizzy (from Blish's "Cities in Flight").

D'oh. You fixed it and I nixed it. I misspelled 'discovery'.

Three hours to Mars. The acceleration would be a bitch.

It could work....won't know until they build one.

it would seem, if it works, the next phase would be to reverse the magnetic field to slow / generate orbit of the vehicle, otherwise no reverse magnetic field no slow down / no orbit of mass via vehicle.
if there is propulsion then that propulsion should be able to be reversed.

Sounds more like "folding space."

This sounds infinitely improbable.That's right! It's an infinite improbability drive.
To: ckilmer
The only fine point left out may be the human body's ability to withstand the G-Forces. Without quantum leaps in the field of technology, the human body will be unable to fly at the acceleration point, or am I wrong?
I can't volunteer for this one!!!
