Curious Link Between the Fly-By Anomaly and the “Impossible” EmDrive Thruster
I think what I most enjoy about the possibility of the EmDrive is that it's similar to how things were often discovered during the "golden age" of science.<p>Often, engineers or inventors would create something and then scientists would have to explain why it happened. In the last few generations, physicists and mathematicians would come up with theories and engineers would have to build equipment to test those theories.<p>The EmDrive is one of the rare modern situations where someone has engineered a device that shouldn't work according to what we know and the scientists are having to come up with the explanation.<p>Personally, solving a mystery is more exciting than purely intellectual theories and the EmDrive has created a very interesting mystery.
