I disagree. Even if this actually turns out to be producing thrust due to a reason other than thermal expansion, ablating material, interaction with the Earth's magnetic field, etc., that doesn't mean fundamental laws are wrong. It depends on why it's happening, right? There are...I can't even call them theories...musings that this may simply be an effect which we aren't aware of, but doesn't violate conservation of momentum.
We are so far away from being able to explain why, however, since we first need to determine if this is real and repeatable. I hope that other credible researchers attempt to replicate this.
