Title: Someone Broke the Laws of Physics

nterplanetary travel could be a step closer after scientists confirmed that an electromagnetic propulsion drive, which is fast enough to get to the Moon in four hours, actually works.

The EM Drive was developed by the British inventor Roger Shawyer nearly 15 years ago but was ridiculed at the time as being scientifically impossible.

Usually when something appears to contradict understood physics it's scoffed at, shelved, and never heard about again.  I wonder how many other "impossible" ideas actually work that science has left on the side of the road because it upset Newton's apple cart.

Awesome, sounds like sci-fi come to life!
