Reaction #2: Vindication<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn the other receptacle of reactions, scientists have attempted to reason the occurrence by subscribing to several causative factors:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nFirst,<\/strong> thermal expansion of the device. This phenomenon demonstrates that as electric currents heat components within the Drive, they consequentially expand during the experiments. This effects motion that would appear as a force.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nSecond,<\/strong> the Mach effect. It suggests that some of the force applied to an accelerating body of mass is preserved as potential energy in its body rather than generating kinetic energy. This causes fluctuations in the object\u2019s resting mass. This phenomenon could be the reason for creation of the type of thrust witnessed in the experiments.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThird,<\/strong> the quantum vacuum theory. It is based on the premise that any arrangement of microwaves inside an enclosed cavity cannot produce thrust. If the microwaves cannot push against inside walls in the copper cone to generate thrust, then they must be pushing off something virtual in within the cone. In this case, virtual particle pairs. This has led to the postulation of the quantum vacuum theory. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThus, the Em Drive may generate\u00a0thrust by acting on virtual particle pairs that are in turn generated by fluctuations in quantum vacuum. These fluctuations are created by the electromagnetic field generated by the EmDrive. The microwaves push off these virtual particles within Em Drive cavity so as to generate thrust. Not all scientists concur this theory.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nReaction #3: No offence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, two new phenomena have been proposed to state that no law of physics is being refuted by this \u201creactionless\u201d device. Em Drive attests the new theory of inertia that speaks of Unruh radiation. Unruh radiation is a form of heat experienced by accelerating objects. Based on this, since the wide and narrow ends of the EmDrive\u2019s cone allow different wavelengths of Unruh radiation, the inertia of the photons inside the cavity change as they bounce back and forth which produces thrust in order to conserve momentum. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nBut, this fails to hold water as the presence of such radiation hasn\u2019t been experimentally confirmed. The positing of variation of the speed of light within the Em Drive\u2019s cavity capsizes the alleged presence of this radiation, as it clearly violates Einstein\u2019s theory of special relativity. Second, the Em Drive does, as a matter of fact, produce exhaust that is light. Photons pair up with another out-of-phase photon in order to shoot out of the metal cavity. This,\u00a0creates force. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe researchers reason no detection of such thrust has been made within the radar because photons need to pair up with an out-of-phase photons as noted earlier in to escape the cavity underling the fact that they completely cancel each other out.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is not the end<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Arguments and counter-arguments are not new to Science. But, allowing the possible skewing of the picture of universe we have drawn up hitherto to justify the possibility of such a device is new. Only further research and fool-proof testing can clearly presage the future of science and universe as we know of.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are a lot of revolutionary discoveries\u00a0a scientist may\u00a0dream of.
