how do i explain to people that the invention that nasa is calling a “warp drive” that will take us to mars in 3 weeks isn’t an alcubierre engine because they rely on completely theoretical particles and it’s not meant to travel ftl but instead it’s actually weirder because every explanation and diagram ive seen say it’s a fucking microwave built into a fucking triangle and it shouldn’t go anywhere at all but It Does and newton’s laws might actually be fucking wrong and we might be pulling momentum from nowhere
It’s the EM drive and please we need to never confuse it with a warp drive ever again but also Look It Up because science is Fake

checking bulbapedia; while in english it has the -saur ending implying it’s a reptile, and i think the german name implies it’s a lizard too, it’s mandarin chinese name is literally “wonderful frog”. the japanese name means something like “mysterious seed”, and all the remaining languages seem to follow that theme and reference its plant-ness instead of any specific animal it resembles.
