Default Emdrive might change the law of inertia (for the Earth too!)

NASA's Physics-Defying EM Drive Passes Peer Review:

"The reactionless thruster known as the EM Drive has stirred heated debate over
the past few years. If successful it could provide a new and powerful method to
take our spacecraft to the stars, but it has faced harsh criticism because the
drive seems to violate the most fundamental laws of physics. One of the biggest
criticisms has been that the work wasn’t submitted for peer review, and until
that happens it shouldn’t be taken seriously. Well, this week that milestone was
reached with a peer-reviewed paper. The EM Drive has officially passed peer
review."
