The Truth About Warp Drive

The video discusses NASA's alleged breakthrough in warp drive technology, focusing on the EM drive, which claims to generate thrust without propellant. The video debunks misconceptions, explaining that the EM drive's results are not conclusive and may violate Newton's third law. It also highlights the discovery of the oldest and most distant galaxy, EGS ZS81, and its implications for understanding the universe's early stages. The video concludes with a call to support SciShow on Patreon.

What is the main principle that the EM drive is said to violate?
