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.
