> It seems like shining a flashlight in one direction should produce thrust in the other. Is that not true or is it something different at work here?
Yes, there does seem to be something else. Classical mechanics cannot explain thrust from shining a flashlight inside your spaceship. But "the EmDrive converts electric power into thrust ... by bouncing microwaves around in a closed container"
