"If something sounds too good to be true then it probably is, so goes the old

"impossible" EM drive, first touted over a decade ago as a way to generate thrust
using microwaves, thereby eliminating the need for fuel in deep space exploration.
The initial research caused huge excitement, with scientists venturing it would be
possible to travel from Earth to Mars in just a few weeks if the technology could
be scaled up, but new tests suggest that's unlikely to happen because it doesn't
appear to work at all."

I don't know why so much effort has been put into something for which
there was no credible theory of operation, and no evidence of
significant forces.

There was never any reason to think this thing would work. People whose
inventions require a change in the accepted laws of physics to function
should be expected to provide substantial evidence that those laws are
wrong before anyone else wastes time on it.
