Last time I saw this cycle with EmDrive
- some guy created EmDrive (2001)
- author argued for decades that EmDrive violates Newton’s Laws
- author filled a group of patents, launched a new company "Universal Propulsion Ltd." (2016). But by this point, DOZENS of independent researchers had already proven that EmDrive doesn't create thrust.
- NASA and DoD and a lot of smaller companies just threw money away testing something that can't even work in theory
- "there was no fraud" (allegedly), all blamed on measurement errors
- mainstream exposure was pure hype, it was just electromagnetic/thermal effect, the research has yielded ABSOLUTELY NOTHING new.
- hliyan 3y agoThis is exactly right. The only difference here is that EmDrive straight up violated a law of physics, whereas high-temp superconductivity was just a matter of degree (pun intended). I was somewhat skeptical of EmDrive, but was very hopeful about LK99. Alas, it was not to be. We'll have to take the slow road to room temperature superconductors.
