Wow, very interesting. I all seems like an April Fool's prank or intentional intelligence misdirection. But who the hell knows!
Patent 10,144,532 is live: https://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph...+mass+reduction"&RS="inertial+mass+reduction"

"It is also important to note that if the Navy had wanted this patent to remain classified, it could have filed the patent under the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951 (35 U.S.C. ch. 17), a law which allows patents to remain classified if they might pose a possible threat to the national security of the United States. Instead, all of Pais' patents are currently fully available to the public. If such a propulsion technology was so revolutionary and if the Navy indeed wanted to keep this technology out of others' hands, it’s curious that they would choose to make the patent public. Maybe the Navy is signaling to its adversaries that it, too, is aware of this revolutionary capability and to whom it belongs."

Let's not forget that British Rail was once granted a patent on a flying saucer: https://patents.google.com/patent/GB1310990A/en

I love it. I thought the list of "Similar Documents" at the bottom of that link could provide hours of entertainment and education as well.

Maybe it's reason is in page 7.

it's not that the Chicago Deep Dish thing tastes bad - but it is NOT pizza

When I feed some leftover "Uno" to my dog, he doesn't worry about its metaphysical quiddity. He just enjoys, and so do I.
