Abstract

The relationship is established between the Physical Vacuum (PV) description in the frame of non-local physics and PV boxes, clear air turbulence (CAT), the Shawyer EM-drive (PVengines), and Special Theory of Relativity.

Keywords

Local physics and PV boxes, clear air turbulence (CAT), the Shawyer EM-drive (PVengines), Special Theory of Relativity.
