"Impossible" EM Drive Has Met Peer Review In New NASA Paper

Did she make you a sammich too?

[pErvinalia]

No, thankfully. You don't want to eat what she classifies as 'food'.

Quantum theory tells us that stuff just pops into existence (although this has not been observed). Quantum entanglement (which has been observed) tells us that there are ways of transferring information through media other than what we understand to be the dimensions of our universe. The obvious conclusion of these two things is that there are more dimensions to our universe than the ones we classically believe exist, which means that it's perfectly possible for microwaves to be pushing stuff around in some other quantum dimension, resulting in thrust.

Easy peasy.

Ignorant speculation without having a fucking clue seems to be a speciality of yours...

Quanta are not the only thing entangled her.

Well, I'm sure it seems that way to you, but then again how it seems to you says more about you than it does me, and what it says is hardly complimentary.

So, anyway, how are those Feck sanctions coming along? Do you plan to suspend soon, or are you going to continue ignoring the violations like you usually do?

Her who? Or her what?

Everything's easy peasy when you haven't got a fucking clue.
If you think you understand quantum theory, you don't understand quantum theory. That's rule one. If you think it's easy peasy, well . . . .

Stuff doesn't pop into existence. Virtual stuff pops in AND OUT of existence. Or it would, if we knew what existence meant.

And quantum entanglement DOES NOT transfer information. That's the frustrating thing about it. Otherwise, you could send messages back in time, to before you wrote it.
So they tell me.

Soooo...virtual stuff DOES pop into existence. Thanks for confirming that.

Er, quantum entanglement transfers the state of one electron to another electron which arranges itself into the same state, and that's information.

So they tell me.

So who tells you, Wikipedia?

Also, schedule a humor checkup immediately.

No, it's not.
Again, you are just demonstrating that you know fuck-all about it.
You need to read up before making those sorts of claims. No information is transmitted in the process. If Einstein didn't get it, I don't give much for your chances.

So you say. But as I understand it, quantum entanglement means that a change in the state of one electron that is quantum entangled with another causes the other one to change to the same state. Thus, the information regarding the state of one electron must necessarily be transmitted somehow to the second electron in order for it to change state. How that information gets passed and why the electron changes state is a mystery as yet, but information is passed nonetheless. That much is logically obvious, otherwise the electrons are not "entangled" and the identical states are merely random chance, which I believe has been disproven.

[mistermack]

You mean we could communicate with past-Seth and convince him not to make a tit of himself now and in the future?

Already made contact, why the fuck do you think I'm back in this cesspool of liberal mindlessness?

It turns out that my participation here turns the tide of history against Marxism and its evil spawn and socialism is extirpated from the face of the earth only because I posted here. I'm told my posts are so erudite and convincing that they were collected and collated much like the Federalist Papers and are now globally published and read reverently by billions and I am called the Father of Global Liberty. There are statues in my honor in every formerly Marxist-dominated and then free nation on earth.
