Violates our policies on original research. I'm also concerned that this article may be pseudoscientific - although this isn't my field, so I can't really judge there. The warning signs are in the 'Possible types of interaction' section: lots of 'may's and 'possible's included in the paragraph. It tries to describe a large set of aerials which would pick up basic fluctuations in the universe -: 'Intergalactic Magnetic Fields' and 'Space-time' - and use them to ride through the local solar system at breakneck speed.
Finally, the concept itself seems to be non-notable: the scientist doesn't seem to have done a great deal else except invent a CrossFire Fusor fusion reactor, which itself seems a little hazy on the science. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry ( talk) 17:49, 12 October 2010 (UTC) reply
As it is widely known, group velocity of a wave can be faster than light because it has zero-rest-mass, and as far as I understand, phase-shifted electromagnetic forces are a kind of wave group, and can produce linear thrust by interacting with something else. This propulsion method is not claiming to be faster than light. It is claiming to produce phase-shifted electromagnetic forces to interact with interstellar medium in order to produce thrust. Sorry, but I don’t see any type of pseudoscience in these claims. The method seems to be physically reasonable and feasible to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Probonopublic ( talk • contribs) 20:14, 16 October 2010 (UTC) reply
