There's two distinct possibilities... 1. A lot of physics is about to be rewritten. Travel to other planets and stars is within our grasp. The entire world is about to change. We'll all remember this day for the rest of our lives. 2. The Navy has been paying a very convincing snake oil salesman to make patents for impossible devices.

This is more than travel to other planets. This is travel to other times, maybe even other dimensions or universes.

To qualify for a patent, there is no requirement that an invention works.

  In fact, the opposite is true, but patent examiners are imperfect.
