While no one in the senate has said "space fleet" that I know of, talking about a " major program" of a "secret space effort ", sure makes me sit up and take notice.
But years ago, before the space arm, Spar Aero Space in Canada gave a demo for investors.
It was a 60 ton block of steel on a magnetic rail. They "launched" this block along the rail at high speed towards the viewers. It came to a sudden silent instant stop at a safe distance.... Most impressive display...

Ever see the 'From the Earth to the Moon' series (I think it was on Showtime), the one where they are building the LEM?
Yes but a scientific theory isn't just a bunch of unsubstantiated guesses or hunches. So far all the speculation in this thread has been unsubstantiated.
The Democrtic senators don't KNOW what's going on, they were not in the loop, and when they try to say the spending was "totally unjustified and very, very wasteful." they were "overruled in the appropriations conference."
the original justification for developing this technology has eroded in importance due to the changed practices and capabilities of our adversaries. There are a number of other programs in existence and in development whose capabilities can match those envisioned for this program at far less cost and technological risk."

even if the plasma was external the skin. This leads to the tantalizing possibility of a magnetic wave interacting in the surrounding ionic space. I'll put more thought into that one

jra? A Theory is nothing more than speculation until it is proven or disproven...
speculation is an integral part of the scientific process.

First of all since when did speculation need substantiation?
From: Wikipedia
Science
In scientific usage, a theory does not mean an unsubstantiated guess or hunch, as it often does in other contexts. A theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena. It originates from and/or is supported by experimental evidence (see scientific method). In this sense, a theory is a systematic and formalized expression of all previous observations that is predictive, logical and testable.
Scientific ideas that do not confer any predictive power are considered at best "conjectures", or at worst "pseudoscience". Because they cannot be tested or falsified in any way, there is no way to determine whether they are true or false, and so they do not gain the status of "scientific theory".
Some philosophers and scientists, most notably Karl Popper, have asserted that no empirical hypothesis, proposition, or theory can be considered scientific if it does not admit the possibility of a contrary case.

BTW zorgon, I think I may be onto something with vibrating mass to energy.
Now if you want to play the dictionary quoting game...
Hence the reason you can't get a clear photo of a true UFO while it is in flight oops said to much........
AND I found a link for EHD. I'd say you could build this with the kids for about $20.00 max
All the same the cat is out of the bag since the concept of an entire new and hidden wing of the military is out of the bag and this makes the discussion of new secret conventional weapons seem oh so boring.
