Nasa has confirmed that it's definitely not working on warp drive technology, but if you look carefully, they haven't said anything about EmDrive, which is where the real story is.
"While conceptual research into novel propulsion methods by a team at Nasa's Johnson Space Center in Houston has created headlines, this is a small effort that has not yet shown any tangible results," Nasa officials told Space.com. "Nasa is not working on warp drive technology."
On 29 April, Nasa scientists wrote an article on Nasa Spaceflight that they had tested British scientist Roger Shawyer's controversial electromagnetic space propulsion technology called EmDrive and were unable to disprove their results, indicating that the technology worked.
However forum users looking at the experiment results also found that when lasers were fired into the EmDrive's resonance chamber, some of the laser beams had travelled faster than the speed of light, which would mean the EmDrive could have produced a warp bubble, also known as a warp drive.
The problem is that some media vehicles, such as Mashable, The Independent, Forbes and NBC who didn't understand what EmDrive is, began equating it with this "warp drive" sci-fi concept, and now that Nasa says it doesn't work, ergo that means EmDrive doesn't work.
Yes. And the idiot mainstream media didn't know that before they published. To read more, click here.
