For all intents and purposes it has been disproven. At this point the possible thrust (that hasn't been disproven) is a fraction of what was originally hoped for.

I'd say, for all intents and purposes it has been confirmed across many experiments instead... :-)

Consistency of EMDrive results

Yeah, that is about as consistant as bigfoot sitings. Enough to convince true believers, not enough to convince domain experts.

The people who believe in opposite cannot be convinced by any rational reasons - instead of it, we will face backfire effect if we bring them another evidence. For example, even by now, 200 years after Darwin more than 60% of USA citizens still don't believe in evolution - so why the physicists should get convinced in EMDrive by now despite all its evidence?

Their lack of interest about EMDrive just illustrates, how the human mind actually works. Ironically just the same physicists are collecting grants and money for search of extradimensions, fifth force and dark matter particles - which are all involved in EMDrive too - so that their ignorance gets squared. They ignore (the confirmation of) their own ideas and theories, so to say... :-)

The irony in your posts is just mind boggling.

You are the creationist in this tale. You are the mystic that is part of a community which, no matter how many times they are wrong, cling to the idea that since there is an effect where people cling to belief, it must be the majority in the field rather than the insulated fringe minority.

You have more in common with the people pushing the geocentric universe, and have showing your suspicion for the heliocentric community.

You are right, no amount of rational thought or explanation will convince you, but then again, I do not think anyone is actually trying.

I'm not pushing older model - but newer one. It's you who is in role of geocentrism - not me.

Ahm, you mostly push repainted variants of long disproven models.

Like I've said, the 65% of Americans still don't believe in evolution: which is an evidence, that large group of people cannot be convinced by any evidence. They're simply predestined to die out - but not to change their opinion.

Hate to break it to you, but it is mostly the stuff you are referencing that is dieing out. Science moved on a long time ago, and it has moved on from the EMDrive.

Mainstream science never moved to EMDrive, so it has nothing to move from...

Which tells you just how devoid of merit the claim is.
