What a surprise : Jennifer Ouellette comes out against it Physics Week in Review: August 2, 2014 http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cocktail-party-physics/2014/08/02/physics-week-in-review-august-2-2014/ Perhaps your interest was piqued by the news that a Fuel-Less Space Drive with “Q-Thrusters” May Actually Work, meaning that it might one day be possible to travel through space without filling up the gas tank, so to speak. Per Wired : “Either the results are completely wrong, or NASA has confirmed a major breakthrough in space propulsion.” The Time Lord’s money is on the latter. Via Twitter, he declared that the notion of “Propulsive momentum transfer via the quantum vacuum virtual plasma” is nonsensical sub- Star-Trek level technobabble . (You may as well put your faith in “Red Matter.”)
But I think she has a typo ... "The Time Lord’s money is on the latter." -- where "latter" is "breakthrough".
