Bad physics. Not notable. Can come back in the unlikely case it's not a complete fairy dream. --Pjacobi 16:03, 2005 May 4 (UTC)
- Keep. Writer admits its only a concept, many google sites reference the possibility [1] - --Sgkay 16:08, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Alleged "bad physics" is notable if it's pursued by brainstorming NASA physicists. Samaritan 16:35, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Program is a NASA brainstorming project to come up with really off-the-wall types of engines. Most of the stuff that comes out of it will be impossible, either for engineering reasons, or because the underlying physics were not sufficiently understood. If there has been no followup research, then I don't think we need an article on it. --Carnildo 20:05, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect to Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Program. Rossami (talk) 00:04, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep cleanup and expand. Notable. Megan1967 02:16, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The diametric drive is a reasonable use for exotic matter. If the article is deleted, then that on exotic matter should also be removed. --PJF (talk) 13:03, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, notable, documented speculation. Kappa 23:39, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as per Megan1967. —Markaci 2005-05-6 T 03:44 Z
- keep. —Lowellian (talk) 08:21, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
- keep, new material properties are being discovered all the time, what seems nonsense or speculation currently may be possible now by applying these curio effects or discovering a new one in the future. I found this entry while looking at the Physics stubs and trying to get a handle on interesting ideas, poorly understood phemonena, etc.. I found it intriguing and the next guy who looks at it might just have the right idea on how to construct it. Synaptic-axon 06:18, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
