#Nasa's'impossible'EMDRIVE propulsion DOES work A controversial design for a new, advanced type of space travel received a boost as German scientists confirmed that it does in fact work.

The EMDRIVE propulsion system would permit travel at speeds until now only seen in science fiction. When the concept was proposed first it was considered impossible

But subsequent tests-further backed up by this announcement-have shown that the idea could revolutionise space travel.

Scroll down for video Researchers say the new drive could carry passengers and their equipment to the moon in as little as four hours.

A trip to Alpha centauri which would take tens of thousands of years to reach right now,

Martin Tajmar, professor and chair for Space Systems at the Dresden University of Technology, presented his work at the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics'Propulsion and Energy Forum in Orlando yesterday.

'If true, this could certainly revolutionise space travel.''While there has been some scepticism surrounding the EMDRIVE, in April Nasa released results of their own test

which showed that the EMDRIVE did in fact create thrust.''Thrust measurements of the EMDRIVE defy classical physicsexpectations that such a closed (microwave) cavity should be unusable for space propulsion because of the law of conservation of momentum,

with Nasa engineers reportedly posting on its forum. The announcement will add momentum to developing a working EMDRIVE,

which is why propellant is required in traditional rockets. Researchers from the US, UK and China have demonstrated EMDRIVES over the past few decades,

But earlier this year, Nasa built an EMDRIVE that works in conditions like those in space

according to users on forum Nasaspaceflight. com. A number of those discussing the plan on the technical forum claim to be Nasa engineers who are involved in the project.

It provides thrust to a spacecraft by bouncing microwaves around in a closed container. Solar energy provides the electricity to power the microwaves,

For instance, current satellites could be half the size they are today without the need to carry fuel.

Last year, Pennsylvania-based scientist Guido Fetta and his team at Nasa Eagleworks published a paper that demonstrates that a similar engine works on the same principles.

But Nasa's latest test is claimed to have shown otherwise.''Nasa has tested successfully their Emdrive in a hard vacuum the first time any organisation has reported such a successful test,

'the researchers wrote.''To this end, Nasa Eagleworks has nullified now the prevailing hypothesis that thrust measurements were due to thermal convection.'

'However, Nasa's official site says that:''There are many'absurd'theories that have become reality over the years of scientific research.'

#Earth's magnetic field may be more than 750 million years older than previously thought The Earth's magnetic field is crucial to life on the planet.

It keeps out harmful solar winds, which would strip away our atmosphere and surface water and bombard us with radiation if left unchecked.

A new analysis of zircon minerals suggests that the field originated at least 4. 2 billion years ago a hop after the planet formed in the geological timeline,

and much earlier than previously thought. The finding comes courtesy of University of Rochester geophysicist John Tarduno,

who was one of the researchers responsible for the previous-best estimate of the age of Earth's magnetic field (3. 2 to 3. 45 billion years).

For this new estimate, Tarduno and his team looked at tiny zircon gemstones in Western australia that date back to the earliest two eons in the planet's history the Archean and Hadean periods.

The magnetic data the researchers found embedded in the ancient magnetite suggests that the Earth had a magnetic field at least 750 million years earlier than previously thought.

which involved all the planets in the Solar system getting pummelled by comets and asteroids for two or three hundred million years.

This event is thought to be the reason why it's so hard for scientists to glean information about the Earth's very early history it wiped out most of the geologic record.

which is the heat release mechanism in the Earth's liquid inner core that generates the magnetic field,

also draws more parallels to Mars. Our red neighbor is thought to have developed a magnetic field shortly after its formation,
