CONT

Negative mass propulsion is not a new concept. It has already been shown that [it] is theoretically possible to create a continuously propulsive effect by the juxtaposition of negative and positive masses ... and that such a scheme does not violate conservation of momentum or energy ... A crucial assumption to the success of this concept is that negative mass has negative inertia.
