> Skepticism about the EmDrive from Physicists has been nearly universal. So what? Skepticism and status quo consensus does not push any field forward into new territory. The vast majority of physicist I would argue are simply refiners of areas pioneered by a scant few others, or working in the industry (myself included). Like it or not, these refiner types aren't the ones earning Nobels. You see this in almost all fields. Current AI advancement originated with maybe 3 researchers pioneer theories, its didn't spontaneously manifest from the consensus Computer Science crowd. Its the open minded mavericks on the outskirts types looking for a way to walk the line or even circumvent current understanding that stumble upon possible breakthrough science where others can move in and refine. Sorry, but it really bugs me when I see relatively smart (but still not Physicist) techy types (relative physics laymen in my mind) defaulting to "it cant be therefor it isn't" logic. This is the Argument from Ignorance logical fallacy. Have they even bothered to read the alternative explanations that might explain the experimental result? You can read a few in my wiki link above. If not then what the F do they know then! Sure it could be just measurement error, or it could be the biggest breakthrough in space travel we've seen and may lend credence to an obscure theory such as pilot waves and quantum vacuum flux. Better not look under that rock through because it might upset the consensus who says there's nothing there. /s People don't realize how closed minded that sort of mindset really is. Armchair know-nothings looking for anything to shoot down and pat themselves on the back for deserve condescension.
