After many years of ridicule that the British aerospace engineer Roger Shawyer has endured regarding his invention of a thrust-less drive is now being explained by Mike McCulloch at Plymouth University in the U.K

Even though the Chinese had already duplicated Roger's experimental results, due to a lack of a believable explanation, most scientists had disregarded Roger's invention as being "snake oil" impossible. Yet it turns out that the explanation may fact lie in Unruh radiation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unruh_effect

Bottom line is that this invention basically allows for the development of UFO type propulsion - no messy rocket engines, but simply microwaves.
