Although not peer reviewed or replicated, a NASA veteran claims their Propellantless Propulsion Drive, that physics says shouldn’t work, just produced enough thrust to overcome Earth’s gravity (thedebrief.org)

What's that? No replication? Not even peer reviewed? Fuck are we reporting on it for, then? It's giving "alien spheroids from deep space" that will later turn out to match terran iron to a 99.9999% level of accuracy energy; and that's not a good look

That smells even worse. Company's a year old and all I can reliably find on it is a company profile on "Corporation Wiki"; no website, no real information on them, but this company just apparently cracked physics. Lmao okay. This is a grift for a coming IPO, I'd bet my left leg on it.

IF anyone else can replicate these findings, he might be onto something-- but with how many outright scams PhD's have tried pushing in the last four years regarding exotic sciences, I don't... Believe shit out of this sector without the actual rigors of the Method being applied to what people are flapping their jaws about.

He even has 5 YT video links that can explain it!

Steve from Accounting is a prick who thinks it's okay to microwave his fish in the break room come lunchtime, I'd need a double-check and a second opinion if Steve from Accounting told me the sky was blue.

You know, if the break room was actually ventilated for heating food, the microwaved fish smell wouldn't be an issue.

But corporate couldn't be arsed actually providing a suitable environment, tale as old as corporations...

Pizza parties and appreciate-mints, though.

The hilarious irony about this is that I actually made a theoretical framework for how such a drive could be possible and then was shocked as shit when I found out their solution was magical time travelling particles. Like even they knew it was complete and utter bullshit.
