OT: nothing's impossible in this environment... Is the following an early investment opportunity? Shoud FCs worry?

[...The latest issue of Science, 28 Feb 2003, page 1295, has an article reporting how an MIT physicist has come up with a system to propel a spacecraft without expelling hot gas, gravitational waves or anything else in the opposite direction (Newton's law). Ironically, the system makes use of angular momentum conversion by an object in curved spacetime by contorting the object. Sadly for scifi types, a human sized object near an Earth like object, for each contortion, would only move 10^(-23) meters. At one contortion a second, it would take the swimmer hundreds of thousands of years to move the width of an atom...]
