Science envy. Its this thing when anything new comes along that flouts the accepted laws of science. Now, they arent laughing.. they are getting their scientific panties in a wad. In case you havent read that i09 piece where a bunch of physicists were all angsty and telling people not to get overly excited about the new propulsion engine that could change the way we travel and our future of space exploration... The engine is breaking a lot of rules and ruffling a lot of feathers. I love how these rules are like this is how the entire universe must work. period. because, science. The earth is flat, because science. Wait... The atom is the smallest particle, because science. Oh, whats all this shit that fell out when we cut one open? String theory is a myth, because science. Er, or not.. you cant power shit with the sun and microwave particles, because science. ... Well, crap. The rules of specialties like physics are in place forever so long as it takes to find exceptions or ways to bend them. space.io9/a-new-thruster-pushes-against-virtual-particles-or-1615361369/1615513781/+rtgonzalez?utm_campaign=socialflow_io9_facebook&utm_source=io9_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
