Last week, a leaked NASA paper appeared to show that scientists had successfully created a working EmDrive prototype.
The radical fuel-free engine defies the laws of physics and has long been dubbed ‘impossible,’ but if achieved, it could get humans to Mars in just 10 weeks.
While many have cast doubt on the findings, experts now say there ‘may really be something there’ – but, the cause might be something entirely different than what’s been proposed.
