Abstract
The controversial EMDrive propulsion technology is currently supported by experimental evidence from multiple sources, and it enjoys multiple proposed theoretical explanations, but all the explanations are radical explanations requiring significant changes to existing physical theories. I would expect this: such a radical phenomenon unexpected by currently known physics is more and more likely to require a radical explanation as more conventional explanations continue to fail to explain it. I outline here the major theories and testable predictions that would advance the state-of-the-art.
Overview of the Current State of Understanding of the EMDrive
