    Since momentum is not conserved, it follows that energy isn't

    Yuk. That sounds stinky.

    I wonder what Mars smells like.

    AI Overview
    What Does Mars Smell Like? : r/space
    Mars likely smells like a mix of sulfur, metallic dust, and rusty
    iron, with a slightly acrid, gassy, and chalky scent, similar to
    rotten eggs mixed with hot metal or burnt toast, because of the
    abundant sulfur, iron, and chlorine compounds in its fine, dusty soil
    and thin carbon dioxide atmosphere. Astronauts who've handled Martian
    soil samples report it smells like spent gunpowder or hot metal, but
    the pervasive smell on the planet would be dominated by sulfur.

    I don't talk about relativity when I talk about PNN. You do it to avoid any experimental verification of PNN. See the elementary pendulum test in... for action reaction violation.
    Alternatively,
    to do nothing as usual since PNN violates conservation of momentum, you immediately state the
    preemptive thing that conservation of momentum cannot be violated. That is, always no
    experimental verification.
    It seems you are terrified that your Newtonian and relativistic wall might be circumvented.
    Another way to avoid any experimental action is to say: extraordinary events require extraordinary evidence,
    but you don't want to do or see it. Or you say take the PNN to the peer reviewers knowing full well that
    peer reviewers censor everything that is outside the paradigms, and worse, peer reviewers
    don't do experimental verifications of what is outside the paradigms.

    A comical example of avoiding any momentum-conserving censorship is the tactic used by Genergo
    https://genergo.space/ who don't claim to violate momentum... but that their propulsion
    without reaction mass ejection is zero propellant :-)
    But Genergo, unlike us, found the money to conduct reactionless tests in orbit. I predict the usual: that you will tell us anything to avoid having to do any tests on the PNN yourself :-)

    I don't talk about relativity when I talk about PNN. You do it to avoid any experimental verification of PNN. See the elementary pendulum test in... for action reaction violation.

    Which you do in air, rather than under vacuum.

    I haven't said anything of the sort. What I have said is that your
    experiments have potential confounds, and your responses don't address them.

    It seems you are terrified that your Newtonian and relativistic wall might be circumvented.

    I'd be delighted if it were, but what you have told us doesn't encourage
    me to throw out a bunch of theories which have been being tested since
    the scientific method was formalised a few hundred years ago.

    Another way to avoid any experimental action is to say: extraordinary events require extraordinary evidence,
    but you don't want to do or see it. Or you say take the PNN to the peer reviewers knowing full well that
    peer reviewers censor everything that is outside the paradigms, and worse, peer reviewers

    I've done a little peer reviewing for journals and got a handful of my
    own papers through the process. Referees make all kinds of mistakes, but slavish devotion to orthodoxy isn't one I've run into.

    A comical example of avoiding any momentum-conserving censorship is the tactic used by Genergo
    https://genergo.space/ who don't claim to violate momentum... but that their propulsion
    without reaction mass ejection is zero propellant :-)

    Their tactic is much the same as yours - they make an implausible claim
    and don't support with anything that looks like credible evidence.

    But Genergo, unlike us, found the money to conduct reactionless tests in orbit.
    I predict the usual: that you will tell us anything to avoid having to do any tests on the PNN yourself :-)

    You can test your gear under vacuum on the ground. I've worked on
    electron microscopes which had quite large vacuum chambers to hold the
    objects being looked at. The lubrication required by the moving parts in
    the imaging chamber limited the vacuum to chemical vacuum levels -
    about 10^-4 torr. The electron emitter space had to be pumped down to a physical vacuum - about 10^-7 torr.

    One of my acquaintances builds cube-sats, which can be put into low
    earth orbit relatively cheaply.

    Wikipedia says about $100.000 which sounds about right.

    That's a lot less than your $24 million.

    relativity is from newtonian physics BASED
    (no action reaction violation)

    But it makes testable predictions which conform to real measurements.



    I don't talk about relativity when I talk about PNN. You do it to avoid any experimental verification of PNN. See the elementary pendulum test in... for action reaction violation.

    Which you do in air, rather than under vacuum.

    Alternatively,
    to do nothing as usual since PNN violates conservation of momentum, you immediately state the
    preemptive thing that conservation of momentum cannot be violated. That is, always no
    experimental verification.

    I haven't said anything of the sort. What I have said is that your experiments have potential confounds, and your responses don't address them.

    It seems you are terrified that your Newtonian and relativistic wall might be circumvented.

    I'd be delighted if it were, but what you have told us doesn't encourage
    me to throw out a bunch of theories which have been being tested since
    the scientific method was formalised a few hundred years ago.

    Another way to avoid any experimental action is to say: extraordinary events require extraordinary evidence,
    but you don't want to do or see it. Or you say take the PNN to the peer reviewers knowing full well that
    peer reviewers censor everything that is outside the paradigms, and worse, peer reviewers
    don't do experimental verifications of what is outside the paradigms.

    I've done a little peer reviewing for journals and got a handful of my
    own papers through the process. Referees make all kinds of mistakes, but slavish devotion to orthodoxy isn't one I've run into.

    An important announcement like this really should have been held back
    until the beginning of April.


    You're terrified of repeating any PNN experiment that might violate
    the Newtonian dogmas of the religion you believe in.

    Science isn't a religion. Everybody was happy to junk Newtonian physics
    when special and general relativity showed up, and the experimental
    evidence showed the Einstein was more nearly correct.

    The result is that with your missile dogmas you will never colonize anything as has been the case for over half a century :-)

    Missiles are just things that get thrown. Even if your reactionless
    drive works, the thing it moves around will still be a missile.

    Rockets have got us to the moon, and they've got exploring robots to
    Mars. Their economics are horrible, but there are cheaper schemes that
    could do the same job that might become technologically feasible.

    You do seem to think that you have discovered a new technology, but the "evidence" that you have presented so far isn't all that convincing.

    In fact it looks terrifying like earlier schemes that turned out to be
    scams.

    That's obviously google AI stupidity. Nobody has been to Mars and no
    samples have been returned.

    Samples have been analysed in situ on the planet though since Viking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_lander_biological_experiments

    There are probes that will eventually retrieve Martian soil samples.
    I'm not aware of Martian meteorites having any distinctive smell but
    newly broken rocks can do sometimes.

    But it's probably stinky. And deadly.

    It probably doesn't smell all that different to moon dust. Although
    since Mars was once wet and is red rusty there is a distinct possibility
    that at one time in the distant past it had photosynthesis of some sort
    making oxygen. Rocky planets are born with a reducing atmosphere of
    mostly hydrogen, water and methane much like Saturn's moon Titan is now. Reduced iron salts are very water soluble and pale green.

    A few Martian meteorites have reached Earth (about 0.5% of all those
    found and classified are thought to be Martian). The odd one has even
    had controversial claims of microfossils being found:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Hills_84001

    Trouble is they could just as easily be diffusion limited inorganic
    chemistry. They are identifiable by their non-Earth oxygen isotopic
    signature and trapped gasses as of non-terrestrial non-lunar origin.
    Inclusions contain gasses similar to what Viking measured on Mars.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martian_meteorite

    Unlikely to be any more deadly than any other sandy dust.

    It is an annoying place to try and land a space vehicle. More than
    enough atmosphere to burn up on re-entry but not enough to make
    parachutes work properly so ingenious ways of slowing down are needed.

    I suppose analysis methods are more refined these days, but in 1974 I
    simulated a meteorite hit in a class mate's garden as a hoax. What I
    did not anticipate is that everyone took this seriously. It was just a
    piece of steel furnace slag, but even the Max Planck institute in

    The Martian meteorites got knocked off Mars rather more recently - we
    wouldn't be finding them on the surface of the earth if they had landed
    here billions of years ago,

    Same for ice cores.

    Ice cores may not show much annual variation after some 800,000 years in
    the Antarctic ice sheet. There's obviously some diffusion but not enough
    to wipe out the variation from ice ages to interglacials

    https://www.antarcticglaciers.org/glaciers-and-climate/ice-cores/ice-core-basics/

    You shouldn't believe everything your climate change denial propaganda
    sources tell you - they aren't particularly careful liars.

    Here's the official story about some recent Australian ice cores

    https://www.antarctica.gov.au/news/explore-antarctica/million-year-ice/

    I can't say that I've read all through the Australian Arctic Survey
    web-site. It's much the same story that I've been reading on and off for
    the past twenty years - I knew that the Russians had managed to pull out
    an 820,000 year ice core, and I'd missed the fact that Australia had
    managed to go deeper.

    Not true. Back when I was an undergraduate I had to check out an X-ray fluorescence scheme for detecting low levels of alumina (Al2O3) in
    titanium dioxide (TiO2) for my summer job, in 1961. As a graduate
    student I met Alan Walsh (in 1968) who pretty much invented atomic
    absorbtion spectroscopy, where you sprayed the solution into a flame and detected the absorbtion lines of specific elements in the flame.

    Australia's plastic banknotes have holograms as a side effect his
    efforts to make cheap plastic diffraction gratings to disperse the light
    that had been through the flame.

    Inorganic chemists took to physical methods early.

    I worked on software for the mass spectrometric rare earth element
    analysis of meteorites at one time (and on dating ancient rocks).

    Mass spectrometers work, but you need big expensive precise machines to
    sort out the isotopes of heavier elements (and I didn't work on them
    until 1992, and then only briefly).

    The geologists get very excited about the Europium anomaly in them. That

    Some of them are geologically speaking relatively young.

    They have Martian meteorites where the inclusions contain gasses in
    about the same ratios as Viking measured and more importantly with the
    same isotopic ratios for Oxygen and Carbon as Mars has.

    The gas inclusions that the geologists target are typically in zircons
    (which are practically indestructible once formed) and not much diffuses through or into them. Helium might possibly but the other noble gas
    atoms are just too big. The time of last melting is one of the important things that can be uniquely determined for any rock/ceramic/glass by MS.
    The point in time where stuff from radioactive decay remains trapped.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UraniumrColead_dating

    Same for ice cores.

    Ice cores are surprisingly good at preserving past atmospheres trapped
    at the time that the snow fell and then compacted. The Oxygen isotope
    ratios in ice itself and in stalagtites are a good proxy for global mean temperature. The lighter forms of water molecule are slightly more
    volatile and preferentially collect as solid ice at the poles leaving
    the seas and rain elsewhere enriched in the heavier isotopes.

    They only work for some very relaxed definition of "work".

    You were consuming 250W for minutes and generated at most 2 gram force
    if we are to believe your graph and that was using an apparatus that is
    of unstated weight and a lot of energy.

    One thing about spacecraft is that they have to carry all their energy

    You misunderstand - which is your stock in trade. We wouldn't have any
    problem with a reactionless drive, if your experiments could persuade us
    that it worked.

    Our problem is that your experiments are ill-constructed and the results
    that you claim are consistent with a few side effects that don't involve
    any kind of reactionless drive.

    You waste your time on high-flown rhetoric, when what you should be
    doing is constructing more persuasive experiments, whose results are
    less easy to explain by your failure to rule out less exciting - if more plausible - side effects.

    Einstein didn't have much trouble getting his post-Newtonian theories accepted, but he didn't run the experiments that showed that his
    approach generated better predictions than Newtonian physics did.

    The people who did run them were skilled experimentalists who knew how
    to construct experiments that tested the theory and didn't leave room
    for alternative ways of explaining the results.

    People who are good at theory (and you aren't) aren't necessarily good experimentalists. Wolfgang Pauli was famously bad, and the Pauli Effect
    is a famous - if not all that serious - commemoration of a time when he
    seemed to wreck an experiment in Munich, when the train he was on
    stopped there for a few hours on the way to some other city.

    When he's trying to raise 24 million dollars, ostensibly to build a
    large scale version of his ill-constructed experiments, it isn't fun any
    more.

    If he wanted to spend a lot less money on setting up more convincing experiments than the ones he has told us about so far, it might be more amusing, but 24 million dollars looks rather more like serious fraud.

    If he really wanted to test his potty ideas in space, you can launch a cube-sat for about $100,000 - and I know of people who have done it.

    $24 million implies a serious disconnection from reality.

    True enough.
    He does amazingly have a patent application filed with WIPO.

    They must use the same algorithm as USPTO - if your dollars are green
    and supplied in sufficient quantity then the application goes onto the
    books and then waits for someone to bother to shoot it down.

    It doesn't seem to have occurred to the OP that once published anyone

    I recall the Fleischmann & Pons heavy water and palladium incident when

    ThatrCOs not how it works at all. At least over here, the fees arenrCOt unreasonable, and there are lots of discounts for small and rCLmicrorCY entities. IrCOm in the process of filing one, and it looks like itrCOll be around $5k including the patent agent.

    IrCOm not a lawyer, but IrCOve been involved with over 80 patent cases, roughly half prosecuting and half litigating. The system isnrCOt perfect, but IME
    the problems are mostly inherent in a system that tries to give small
    inventors a chance.

    Specifically, the range of expertise required to make really expert
    examination of all the applications is impossible for a smallish government department, and farming them out is infeasible for a lot of reasons,
    especially cost and liability.

    Most patents never go anywhere. The introduction of maintenance fees means
    that a lot of low-value patents quietly disappear in a few years.

    So I have a few stories, but in general I think the US system works pretty
    well in practice.

    24 million dollars. 24 million dollars!!! That's all he needs to get
    this project off the ground and onwards to Mars. It's a steal! I can't

    I'd be happy to invest $0.024 in his scheme and you can pay the rest!

    A significant proportion of these sort of investment opportunities turn
    out to be scams. The inventor may be sincere, but they may have acquaintances who aren't.

    If he was actually genuine then a few tens of billions is about the
    right order of magnitude to be asking for a serious manned Mars mission.

    And possibly another factor of ten on top of that if you want to get
    your astronauts back alive. I'd send Musk to test his rocket ship ;-)

    He is right about one thing though - with present day technology a
    manned trip to Mars using chemical propulsion is practically a suicide mission. Time spent weightless on the way would require building a
    robotic hospital on Mars to help them recover from the ordeal of their trip.

    I had a look at the patent application and it is risible. He fails to
    realise that any heat generated (and there is lots) in the apparatus is
    thrust lost! Boundary layer friction and convection air currents almost certainly explains the slight "thrust" that he claims to observe.
    (hint at UHF coating conductors with silver or gold improves things)

    If he could demonstrate a prototype that could accelerate itself at
    10m/s^s with high energy efficiency then funding would be easy.

    Since momentum is not conserved, it follows that energy isn't
    conserved either.

    An important announcement like this really should have been held back
    until the beginning of April.


    You're terrified of repeating any PNN experiment that might violate
    the Newtonian dogmas of the religion you believe in.

    Science isn't a religion. Everybody was happy to junk Newtonian physics
    when special and general relativity showed up, and the experimental
    evidence showed the Einstein was more nearly correct.

    The result is that with your missile dogmas you will never colonize anything
    as has been the case for over half a century :-)

    Missiles are just things that get thrown. Even if your reactionless
    drive works, the thing it moves around will still be a missile.

    Rockets have got us to the moon, and they've got exploring robots to
    Mars. Their economics are horrible, but there are cheaper schemes that
    could do the same job that might become technologically feasible.

    You do seem to think that you have discovered a new technology, but the
    "evidence" that you have presented so far isn't all that convincing.


    You are terrified by PNN experimental tests.

    Actually, I'm horrified by the ineptitude. Badly designed experiments
    don't terrify me. People who misunderstand the results they generate are horribly inept, but terror doesn't come into it.

    There's a risk that the lack of skill and insight might be concealing a
    real effect, but that's pretty unlikely. Modern physics works pretty
    well and any odd effect that could be turned into a reactionless drive
    would almost certainly have corrupted the results of more conventional experiments testing other propositions.

    The most exciting words in experimental science are "that's odd" but
    they are mostly generated by routine mistakes - like the Italian
    faster-than light neutrinos from a few years ago.
