Although not peer reviewed or replicated, a NASA veteran claims their Propellantless Propulsion Drive, that physics says shouldn’t work, just produced enough thrust to overcome Earth’s gravity (thedebrief.org)

[...] Another unusual result from their tests was that sometimes the tested devices did not require a constant input of electrical charge to maintain their thrust. Given that the device already appears to violate the known laws of physics by creating thrust without propellant, this result even stumped Dr. Buhler and his team.

Hold up a minute, not only does this thing generate momentum out of ~~essentially~~ ~~nowhere~~ "a new fundamental force", it is also able to generate thrust without a constant supply of energy?

If I told you my car could run without petrol, you'd call me a liar, but apparently this didn't ring alarm bells to them?

It's just an intern fucking with the scientist.

"You sure there isn't any propellant in there?"

"Yes, professor, I'm positive! snicker"

Ain’t got no gas in it.

Mmm-hmm.
