Physics Shaken

NASA engineer Dr. Charles Buhler claims his team has discovered a “new force” that generates thrust without fuel—challenging the very foundations of physics.

Fuel-Free Future?

If true, this breakthrough could revolutionize space travel, eliminating the need for fuel and enabling spacecraft to move using only electric fields.

EmDrive Déjà Vu

Similar “impossible” propulsion concepts—like the infamous EmDrive—once sparked excitement but failed under scrutiny. Will this one survive the test?

Breaking Newton?

Buhler’s system appears to violate Newton’s Third Law, which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If verified, physics textbooks may need rewriting.

Electrostatic Mystery

The system allegedly moves objects by creating an imbalance in electrostatic pressure—producing thrust without expelling mass. Mainstream science can’t yet explain it.

Defying Gravity

Buhler’s team claims their device generated enough force to counteract Earth’s gravity—a feat no other reactionless drive has achieved.

Scientific Skepticism

Physicists remain unconvinced, demanding independent verification. Could this be a real breakthrough, or just another experimental illusion?

A Call for Proof

Buhler himself urges third-party testing, admitting that a “smarter physicist” will be needed to fully understand the force behind their results.

Revolution or Hoax?

History is full of "miracle" propulsion claims that failed rigorous testing. Will this one rewrite physics—or fade into obscurity like the EmDrive?
