This sounds like another Woodward (or Mach) effect drive proposal, or is it something different? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodward_effect https://en.m.w

- gus_massa 7y agoIf I understand correctly, these are different effects. The article uses Special Relativity. With Special Relativity you can't break the laws of conservation of energy and momentum. The Woodward effect uses General Relativity. So the conservations laws are more complicated to define because the space-time is curved. Anyway, the curvature is so small that if it is real it would be very difficult to measure and even more difficult to use it in a thruster.
