And now, back to the show. 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:48.659 Let's talk science. A former NASA engineer, Charles 00:08:48.659 --> 00:08:51.899 Buller, now at Exodus Propulsion Technologies, 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.320 claims an electrostatic propellant -less drive 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:59.580 can counter Earth's gravity. He says a new force 00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:02.440 allows electric fields to generate sustained 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.820 thrust without expelling mass, enabling center 00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:09.639 -of -mass translation. Unaffiliated with NASA, 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.360 he presented at APEC, citing colleagues from 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:17.529 NASA, Blue Origin, and the Air Force, and a 2023 00:09:17.529 --> 00:09:21.990 trial that reportedly beat gravity. Skepticism 00:09:21.990 --> 00:09:24.950 is warranted as Roger Scheuer's M -drive from 00:09:24.950 --> 00:09:29.830 2001 failed under testing, despite a 2016 NASA 00:09:29.830 --> 00:09:32.690 Eagle Works hint with later studies, including 00:09:32.690 --> 00:09:36.049 Dresden University of Technology, finding zero 00:09:36.049 --> 00:09:43.549 thrust. And in entertainment news. Darren Aronofsky 00:09:43.549 --> 00:09:46.730 embraced something closer to light with caught 00:09:46.730 --> 00:09:51.769 stealing. Set in 1998 New York City, this rosing 00:09:51.769 --> 00:09:55.169 chase follows Henry Thompson, a Lower East Side 00:09:55.169 --> 00:09:58.149 bartender and former ball player, now drifting 00:09:58.149 --> 00:10:02.149 and drinking, played by Austin Butler. A neighbor's 00:10:02.149 --> 00:10:05.590 cat, a mysterious key, and brutal men ignite 00:10:05.590 --> 00:10:08.629 pursuits across the city, including a drone shot 00:10:08.629 --> 00:10:11.950 through the Unisphere in Queens. Low -stakes 00:10:11.950 --> 00:10:14.830 drills and a vivid New York portrayal gets a 00:10:14.830 --> 00:10:21.509 graded B-, it's rated R, and 107 minutes. Well, 00:10:21.509 --> 00:10:24.269 all righty, folks, it's time for the quote of 00:10:24.269 --> 00:10:28.110 the day. And today, our quote comes from the 00:10:28.110 --> 00:10:31.350 American inventor and visionary Alexander Graham 00:10:31.350 --> 00:10:36.350 Bell. And he said, when one door closes, another 00:10:36.350 --> 00:10:39.820 opens. But we often look so long and so regretfully 00:10:39.820 --> 00:10:42.840 upon the closed door that we do not see the one 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:47.200 which has opened for us. And that's a wrap for 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.220 this morning. You can check out our Instagram, 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.179 YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial 00:10:54.179 --> 00:10:57.299 videos with local news and the weather reports. 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.279 Have an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.379 you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings 00:11:04.379 --> 00:11:04.919 in Boston.
