If it works as claimed, it could revolutionize our understanding of physics and propulsion technology. However, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The upcoming tests in space will be super important to validate the drive's effectiveness and its underlying theories. Until then, healthy skepticism remains a cornerstone of scientific inquiry.
There's a lot of red flags here too. It's based on a theory called "quantised inertia", which was developed by someone who is not a physicist, and which has gotten bad reviews from actual physicists.
