Re: Paradigms
Sorry, but that is a load of bull.
Relativity did not have any problem to get accepted. Quantum mechanics, too.
Because these things were proven conclusively and repeatedly. Sure, there were probably people who did not "believe" until their deaths, but actually most of the academic world quickly catched up.
If this thing "works", then it will be absolutely no problem to replicate the setup and confirm that it really works. Perhaps somebody will also eliminate the possible causes of concern, such as the fact that the NASA chaps did not test in vacuum. If the proposed invention is really meaningful, it will have no problem with replication and confirmation in a rigorous setup.
