That was the initial response, but the results have since been replicated several times by several organizations, including NASA. "Sloppy experimentation" seems unlikely at this point.
- gaur 11y ago> the results have since been replicated several times by several organizations The results are random. Sometimes nonzero thrust is observed in a direction opposite to what was expected [0]. Know what that sounds like? A null measurement dominated by statistical and systematic uncertainties. > including NASA I'll repeat what I said elsewhere: NASA is so big that that doesn't mean anything. Not everyone affiliated with NASA is a top-notch researcher. The word "NASA" is not automatic proof of good research.
