What was once thought to be a kooky-science space propulsion engine, the EM Drive has been proven to be real:

Several attempts to reconcile how the EM Drive works have odd side effects. The current favorite is an unusual alternative to the traditional interpretation of quantum mechanics, "Pilot Wave" theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Broglie-Bohm_theory Ruth, Bruce and others: is this quackery? If not, it certainly is going to be a Brave New World! -- Owen
