don't get your science knowledge from fake news websites
go to the fucking article and read it
Physicists observe 'negative mass'
the warp drive is close then
Sounds retarded. If you pushed something with negative mass it would reduce the total mass being moved to complete the action, making it feel lighter than if you were pushing nothing at all.
You could abuse this to reduce the weight of shit in packaging and shit
EFFECTIVE MASS
EVERY FUCKING ARTICLE TALKING ABOUT NEGATIVE MASS AND WARP DRIVES AND SHIT NOW. IT STILL HAS POSITIVE MASS YOU GOD DAMN ILLITERATE 'SCIENCE JOURNALISTS'
no this does not violate newtons second law
no this does not violate conservation of momentum
no we did not discover anti gravity
no this doesn't BTFO science
no you cant use this for FTL
I have a degree in physics (that although not allowing me to get a job, allows me to understand shit like this) and some retard communications major on facebook is arguing with me about how we mass effect now. god fucking dammit i hate these people.
>making it feel lighter than if you were pushing nothing at all.
nah. thats zero mass. maybe negative mass means exactly what it means and it acts opposite to something that has a positive mass like moving against gravity or some shit.
but yeah this sounds like total bullshit news
ftl confirmed 200%
Although they say the exact same thing in the journal article you tard
Zero mass doesnt reduce the effective mass of the action user, it just doesnt change it.
Negative mass is literally nrgative energy (which is why this is bs), by putting negative mass in a system you are directly lowering the amount of energy within it. Ie, lifting a box with negative mass would feel like your arms were floating because lower effective gravity.
Has anyone got a link to a readable paper?
Your first sentence didn't make any sense, either from a physical or grammatical point of view.
I understood that they interfered the de Broglie wavelengths from the BEC in a way analogous to creating a negative group velocity.
