Among Dr. Pais's patents are designs, approved in 2018, for an aerospace-underwater craft of incredible speed and maneuverability. This cone-shaped vehicle can potentially fly as well anywhere it may be, whether air, water or space, without leaving any heat signatures. It can achieve so by being able to create a quantum vacuum around itself with a very dense polarized energy field. This vacuum would allow it to repel any molecule the craft comes in contact with, no matter the medium. Manipulating "quantum field fluctuations in the local vacuum energy state," would help reduce the craft's inertia. The polarized vacuum would dramatically reduce any elemental resistance and lead to "extreme speeds," claims the paper.
Big Think
I haven’t done the background research into Dr Pais, but if he is legit, this could mean some huge changes to our species as a whole.
I really want to call him a egocentric quack, but it seems that his credentials may be bonafide.
Does anyone have anything else on this guy, as the technology seems downright fantastic.

if i wanted someone to build me a sturdy space craft where weight is no problem i would have them make it in a submarine doc and make a pretty much exactly same nuclear sub
you strange sub would make a great spaceship
and going on long haul silent trips are already in use by the Navy on the earth version of their space craft.
i argue you could use the same crews and with some cloak and dagger(sleep agent or whatever) they might not even realize they are in space
I don't see where that article adds anything to TheDrive article published over a year ago.

The only answer that makes any sense to me is to answer this question in TheDrive article in the affirmative:

So again...WHY?
Reading the comments in the articles carries a common line of thinking that these are being publicized simply as a smokescreen. Either a response to some research done by other nations or the planting of seeds of disinfo.
If the patents can convince Russia and China to devote resources chasing this "pie in the sky", that's less resources they will be able to devote to something which actually works. I can't think of any other reason that makes sense why the patents would be filed publicly. If they actually worked they would be filed in secret, as the same article suggests:
Are they part of a misinformation campaign designed to lead America’s adversaries on a fruitless wild goose chase?
If the goal is to get Russia and China to waste their limited research resources, then the reason for filing publicly is not elusive at all, since using the invention secrecy act wouldn't achieve that goal.
It’s also worth noting the well-established trend of the U.S. military making use of the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951 to file patents unavailable for public viewing, under which the Navy has been the most prolific filer since 2017. It seems particularly notable that Pais's patents, which according to top Navy officials were of major national security interest, were filed publicly, though the reason why remains elusive.
The Navy uses the invention secrecy act all the time and I see no reason why they wouldn't use it for such amazing tech if it actually worked.

Hmmmm
If this was real, the patents would be classified no?

the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of the Naval Aviation Enterprise personally wrote a letter addressed to the examiner claiming that the U.S. needs the patent as the Chinese are already “investing significantly” in these aerospace technologies that sound eerily similar to the UFOs reported by Navy pilots in now well-known encounters. This raises the question, are the Chinese developing or even already flying craft leveraging similar advanced technology and is the Navy now scrambling to catch up?
