Over the years since no anti gravity device has seen the light if the day, do you not get the distinct impression that anti gravity is outlawed?

And no unicorn repelling force fields have seen the light of the day, either. I guess they're also outlawed?

Apply occams razor, what seems more likely, a giant coluded conspiracy about a very exotic Sci fi invention.
Or we just can't do it yet?
Hell we haven't even isolated the graviton yet, how could we not only isolate but utilize its inverse?
The force generated by the drive is not particularly strong, but the implications are big. Multiple independent experiments have now replicated the drive's ability to generate thrust, albeit with varying success. Using panels to convert solar energy into electricity and then into thrust, opens the door to perpetual space travel fueled by the stars.
Scientists were slow to warm up to the EmDrive since it violates the law of the conservation of momentum. In addition to not being sure why it works — current theories rely on quantum mechanics — scientists also have some pretty good ideas why it shouldn't work.
The law of the conservation of momentum is pretty important. It says that you can't create or destroy momentum. The momentum of two objects that collide is equal before and after the impact. Space travel relies on this principle. A typical rocket engine or thruster uses propellant that it blasts out to create an opposing force. Think of a fireman with a giant firehose. Turn it on, and it pushes back against you.

I apparently live inside of a unicorn repelling force field.
I have yet to be bothered by a unicorn, or even see one.

Patent offices or unis will not entertain it. Any entity that dabbles in it may have their grants taken away and be ridiculed to no end. Even entities like nasa will not entertain it. Granted GR has taken hold to the extent that expts are designed and results interpreted to suit it. Now I just wonder why this should be so. Isn't science all about progress or do the tptb have ulterior motives in this regard?
Lol. nice one

You do have a point. Though if some does it in secrecy, it is only human to proclaim it to the world, once you succeed, See I did it, and unfortunately be ridiculed in return.

There are definite motives to shun this technology to the public. The US military views this as the ultimate weapon. The only way to utilize this is to privately develop it in total secrecy. (Which would be no easy task.)
