folks who know me have my #.
1.2 grams of thrust...

that means a 1.2 gram object will reach the speed of light in about 9.5 years, if my scratchings are correct..

From the National Geographic, at:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/...le-emdrive-physics-peer-review-space-science/

"Mike McCulloch, a physicist at the University of Plymouth, argues that the EmDrive is evidence of a new theory of inertia that involves something called Unruh radiation, a sort of heat experienced by accelerating objects. In his telling, since the wide and narrow ends of the EmDrive’s cone permit different wavelengths of Unruh radiation, the inertia of the photons inside the cavity must change as they bounce back and forth—which must produce thrust in order to conserve momentum."

McCulloch proposes **quantized inertia**
the Unruh radiation has to do with a physicist who is critical to the theoretical work behind singularity mechanics, such as Hawking Radiation, one reference which can be seen here:

http://www.hep.princeton.edu/~mcdonald/accel/unruhrad.pdf

Also, from the Wiki:

"The hypothetical Unruh effect (or sometimes Fulling–Davies–Unruh effect) is the prediction that an accelerating observer will observe blackbody radiation where an inertial observer would observe none. In other words, the background appears to be warm from an accelerating reference frame; in layman's terms, a thermometer waved around in empty space... will record a non-zero temperature."

in any case, if we are going to Get The Fuck Out, shit like this means something..

any serious assholes who know how to discuss basic relativistic theory, without having to actually have goddamned PhD's?

(think really, really, really good shade tree mechanics who have only a basic, but highly functional grasp of metallurgy.. hard vs soft & why the fuck it gets that way...)


we are a *shitload* of genii (or geniuses, if you have to stick to fucking american fucking english..)

& we **CAN** think about this shit, in more than a hippy-trippy-woozy-boozy kind of way..

Edison was NOT a scientist (Tesla *was*), but like sculptors who do not know geology, we sure as hell can do a lot with whatever it is that we each create..
