Ok so, get your garden hose and turn it on, look at the end of the pipe, there you see flow. Do the same with your kettle cord, what do you see?. Nothing. There is no flow. There is no 'electricity;.
Instead, what you see is this:
Lets call this the Babel Effect (Tower of Babel)
This is electricity>
Its is safe, self organising, unaffected by gravity, needs no container or wire and powerful.

"In case you've somehow missed it, the EM Drive is a propulsion system that can hypothetically produce thrust just by bouncing microwaves back and forth within its cavity. That means no heavy propellants (such as rocket fuel) need to be carried on board, and its inventor, Roger Shawyer, predicts that the drive could make it to Mars in just 72 days. That's all well and good in theory, but the problem is that modern physics can't explain how the EM Drive could work.
EM drive eh.... nothing peer reviewed yet, no real understanding apparently of how it works... I have a theory. Funny though my microwave has not moved a measurable distance.
The questions are... how far and at what speed if at all?

My guess is, that when they make it work, they will reverse engineer the maths and language that explain it.
Thats probly how a lot of it comes about.
Even Einstein did that. Perhaps his wife did not. She bested him anyway. Just didnt last.

You appear to like the mumbo-jumbo science without a real appreciation of physics. I am a firm believer that we do not know much yet. We have discovered very powerful theories that explain most of what we see but still do not understand the universe. So I do expect some things to eventually be discovered that cannot be explained and we will need to rewrite some of our theories/models of the universe. However, until they are peer reviewed and validated in tests, they are not much really. However we need to push the boundaries and these ideas help with that.
They need to be proven. If it is not testable physics then it will never be accepted and will not add to our knowledge of everything. (except to be eliminated)
