China Beats Nasa: China Claims It's Already Testing 'Impossible' Warp Drive Technology

 

China said it overtook NASA in building a "warp drive" 

technology that could prove that interstellar space travel 

is more than just science fiction. The country appears to 

have funded controversial research since 2010, according to 

the China Academy of Science and Technology (CAST).

They added: "NASA is simply" reconfirming "what it has 

already known. Recently national research institutes (NRI) 

have performed a series of long-term and frequent tests on 

EmDrive," said Chen Yue, head of the division CAST 

communications satellite. "The results of the experiments 

published by NASA can be said to reconfirm the idea. We have

actually established many claims on multiple prototype 

principles."

Chen said CAST has already built a test device for EmDrive 

and that it is being tested in the low-orbit crewed 

Tiangong-2 satellite.

"The formation of an experimental confirmation platform to 

complete the micro-thrust measurement test at the milli 

level, as well as several years of frequent experiments and 

research on the corresponding interference factors, confirm 

that thrust exists in this type of engine."

Known as the EmDrive Propulsion System (EPS), warp drive 

technology was previously thought impossible because it 

violated the laws of physics.

While the spaceships must generate the thrust to push them 

in the correct direction, the EmDrive has been designed to 

generate the thrust by exploiting the light particles and 

bouncing the microwaves inside a closed cone-shaped 

compartment. Such movement produces a push at the thin end 

of the cone, pushing the engine forward, the Mirror noted.

However, while the research has brought big news and has 
been admired by many, other critics have continued that the 
idea is incompatible with Newton's momentum conservation, 
which claims that a body will not move unless it is applied.
 an external force. If such technology is successful, the 
space travel could bring humans to the moon in just four 
hours and to Mars in a few weeks. But aside from the highly 
coveted trip to Mars, British engineer Roger Shawyer also 
pointed out other important things that EmDrive could do 
for the world.

"They will be solar-powered power plants, long-haul flights 
from city to city that consume hydrogen. It is convenient 
and good to do and will revolutionize our world in the  
coming decades," he said.
