EmDrive Could Lead To Warp Drive

Stranger things have resulted from accidents. Faster than light though, now that's impressive and will require quite a few laws of physics to be rewritten.

The most immediate beneficiary of this discovery could well be the Mission to Mars, allowing for instantaneous communications via FTL laser bursts. Heck, probes being sent to Mars and other planets would benefit from real or near real time telemetry and control.

Actual physical FTL travel is still a ways off though, but if the principles of it can be proven as sound, then that's a huge first step.

I love science.
