Quantized Inertia: A New Perspective on Inertial Mass
Dr. Mike McCullough from the University of Plymouth discusses his work on quantized inertia and its implications for understanding inertia and motion. He proposes a mechanical model for inertial mass that explains why objects stay in motion or remain at rest. By considering the distribution of under radiation and horizons, he predicts the behavior of inertial mass in various scenarios, including the rotation of galaxies. His theory suggests that inertial mass can be understood through the interactions of quantum fields and provides a new perspective on gravity as well. His work has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of physics and open up possibilities for interstellar travel.
Quantized Inertia and Horizon Effects
Dr. McCullough's theory of quantized inertia is based on the interaction of objects with under radiation and horizons. As an object accelerates, it experiences the effects of under radiation, resulting in a pushback resistance known as inertia. The presence of a horizon, such as the cosmic horizon or the Rindler horizon, influences the distribution of under radiation and affects the inertial mass of an object. This theory offers insights into why objects stay in motion or at rest and sheds light on the behavior of inertia in different acceleration scenarios.
Deriving Newtonian Gravity and Exploring General Relativity
Dr. McCullough's research not only provides explanations for inertia but also aims to extend our understanding of gravity. He demonstrates that Newtonian gravity can be derived from the principles of quantized inertia by assuming dampening of the quantum vacuum between two plank masses. Additionally, he proposes a way to reproduce the modification effects of general relativity in a solar system, such as the bending of light by the sun and the Shapiro delay. This work holds the potential to bridge the gap between Newtonian gravity and general relativity, opening up new avenues for exploring the fundamental nature of gravity.
Quantized Inertia and Galactic Rotation
Quantized inertia predicts that the Rindler horizon will move behind the cosmic horizon at a specific acceleration, causing inertial mass to decrease. This explains the behavior of galaxy rotation, where edge stars have less inertial mass and centrifugal force. Predictions made by quantized inertia align with observational data and do not require any adjustments to the theory. This theory challenges the conventional explanation of the galactic rotation problem and provides a new understanding of the dynamics involved.
Quantized Inertia, Horizons, and Propulsion
Quantized inertia suggests that horizons attract, similar to how a metal plate can act as a horizon by canceling the quantum field. The theory predicts that accelerating systems with asymmetrical horizons can produce a new kind of thrust. Experimental tests with capacitors have shown some promising results, with thrust observed in about 30% of cases. Scaling up this propulsion system and improving its consistency are ongoing challenges, requiring advancements in materials and experimental techniques.
Dr. Mike McCulloch is a University of Plymouth lecturer in geomatics, physicist, and author who is best known for developing Quantized Inertia, a cosmological explanation for Newton’s first law that states an object in motion will tend to stay in motion. We discuss the principles of quantized inertia as a derivation of photon pressure at the cosmological horizon in the form of Unruh radiation, the path to formulating an mathematical formulation for an everything-is-connected universe, and how the Casimir effect that emerges from the theory can be used to engineer novel, combustion-less propulsion mechanisms.

PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Michael Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities.
