The thing is, they've replicated the result, but noone understands how it
works. Some of the observations are quite crazy. eg. they observe a laser
travelling faster than the speed of light! What happens is that the laser
appears to enter a warp in space and then appear at the other side of the
device out of wormhole (this is just a theory. Noone can explain in simple
scientific terms what is happening yet). Some scientists think it could be
a side-effect of Unruh Radation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unruh_effect
The implications if true are massive.
But there's still nothing conclusive. The Chinese say they can only
replicate the result if they use an external power cable. When they try it
with a battery, there's no more thrust...

I also remember reading about this before.
Have they managed to prove this yet? ie built something that works.
There wont be much to say after that

I remember this thing. So, they still haven’t managed to disprove it yet.
It’s hardly the first time we’ve used tech without understanding how it
works.

What is the EmDrive and why should I care?

IBTimes UK explains the controversial space propulsion invention setting
the global scientific community alight.
tl;dr:
The idea is that electricity is converted into microwaves, and the
microwave photons are fired into a truncated cone-shaped closed metal
cavity. When fired into the cavity, the microwave photons push against the
large end of the cone, causing the small end to accelerate in the opposite
direction.
Many academics in the international scientific community don't believe it
is remotely possible for the EmDrive to work. They say that according to
the law of conservation of momentum, in order for a thruster to gain
momentum in one direction, a propellant must be expelled in the opposite
one, and since the EmDrive is a closed system with no propellant, it
violates our understanding of physics.
