@nyrath the closest I feel we could get is a photon drive. But a Black body photon drive has terrible thrust, and an antimatter photon drive uses propellant. Only options I can see for a true propellantless drive is swimming in spacetime or creating gravitational gradients. But creating gravitational gradients that would result in falling forward is firmly in the "and then a miracle happens" portion of the equation.

I saw the banner image (the Exodus advert) first, before my brain registered the headline, and I was briefly confused and wondered if somebody had hijacked your account.
Pretty sure if your account ever posts “propellantless drives are practical spaceship propulsion” content we know you are in danger.
@nyrath What was the year when breaking (bad) physics switched from perpetual motion to space drives? (Was there an interregnum when the quacks called for time travel instead?)
Why spam? It's true. The bogus science of propellantless thrusters is like the flat Earth theory: it refuses to die. No matter how many times it is utterly debunked.
Which is a sorry testimony to the abysmal state of basic scientific education in the modern world.
@nyrath It would be really cool if these reactionless drives worked but unless the laws of physics are utterly wrong, they’re equivalent to a light in terms of thrust.
