The Peter McCormack Show #049 - Mike McCulloch - Quantised Inertia: The New Physics That Could Rewrite Reality
23 snips
Feb 10, 2025 Mike McCulloch, a physicist known for his Quantized Inertia theory, challenges established concepts in physics. He argues that dark matter might be a fabrication and critiques Einstein's theories. The discussion delves into his revolutionary propulsion ideas, including the controversial EM Drive. McCulloch shares insights on inertial mass, skepticism toward new theories, and the potential for radical changes in space travel. He calls for a reevaluation of fundamental physics principles, blending advanced concepts with a critical view of mainstream science.

Episode notes
Quantized Inertia: A New Physics
- Quantized inertia offers an alternative to dark matter and dark energy, potentially revolutionizing physics and space travel.
- It suggests that inertial mass isn't inherent but arises from the quantum vacuum's unequal push on objects.
Inertia and the Quantum Vacuum
- Inertia could be explained by the quantum vacuum's varying push on objects across space.
- This contrasts with the traditional view of inertia as objects' inherent tendency to stay in motion.
The Boat Analogy
- A boat with a wave-damping skirt illustrates how imbalances in wave fields cause movement.
- This analogy helps explain how quantized inertia works, with the quantum vacuum acting like the sea.
