Stated another way – does the aether have mass or mass-equivalence (virtual mass or effective mass)?
If so, and the EM drive is moving in aether, then leaving a wake (bow wave, eddy turbulence, kelvin wake, etc) also leaves a mass-equivalence. From: David Roberson Good argument. I just wanted to add one thought. >From the EM drive's point of view the CoE must be violated because as it >accelerates in space a portion of it's mass must be converted into energy that >is used to power the drive. When it ceases to use the drive it begins to >remain motionless in space from its point of view. Where did that mass go >which was converted into energy that powered the drive? Did it simply vanish?
