[/quote] I am no expert in any relevant field, but I thought a good deal of universal laws broke down once one entered the field of quantum mechanics? I mean, the wikipedia article suggests this is known physics, just known quantum physics. Can anyone more qualified clarify? I'm out of my league here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_vacuum_plasma_thruster [/quote]

"Test results indicate that the RF resonant cavity thruster design, which is unique as an electric propulsion device, is producing a force that is not attributable to any classical electromagnetic phenomenon and therefore is potentially demonstrating an interaction with the quantum vacuum virtual plasma."
