I don’t buy this. We all know that this technology isn’t invented until 2063 by Zefram Cochrane. ;|

Yeah, but 1/2 hour later and you’re craving light speed again.

So why the heck would they post a picture if they want a military advantage? Smells bad.

Sure microwaves carry momentum. There’s no reason it couldn’t work, but it doesn’t “warp” anything. It’s incremental thrust for low-gravity applications. Not much to see here, really.

Great. Now we’ll be getting crappy stuff from China even faster.

Is the writer stupid? Warp drives warp the space-time continuum to take shortcuts between two location in space.

Actual invented by a British scientist
A reactionless thruster (no exhaust, violates newtons laws) based on microwaves bouncing around a tapered wave guide. They bounce off one end of the wave guide with more force than the other end producing thrust... or so the inventor claims.
Not warp drive but vastly better than anything we have now, if it works.
To: Flavius
The Chinese have also perfected warp food.
