Can You Build a Propeller or Airfoil for a Higgs Field?
This is open to debate among scientists.
The Higgs field is nothing tangible. It is considered to be the quantum-level source of that what we experience or explain as "mass", "inertia&...

What would the seasonal patterns be like on this world's moon?
The planet has an orbital period of 514.65 days, the moon orbits it in 152.5998. This means the moon completes ~3.37 orbits for every orbit of the planet around it's parent star. The moon is far ...

The answer is no. I can give you a short and a long answer.
Short one : The entire standard model has translational symmetry. Therefore, the momentum is conserved q.e.d. So no reaction less engines.
