    Quantized Inertia is a type of modified relativity theory that explains inertia as a fundamental force of the universe that could do everything from explain the rotation of galaxies without using Dark Matter, to the expansion of the universe without Dark energy, and may even allow anti-gravity propulsion. If it's true, that is.

    As I'm seeking employment as a fact checker: yours was wrong with the 2010 Hawking radiation detection. it's believed it could have been Cerenkov radiation instead. Also it wasn't from a black hole obviously but from a complex prism-laser structure that may not really be the best representation of reality. It was also never followed up upon so it's also technically fringe science. It's a fringe science inception. Fringeception

      Exactly the point, while it is interesting enough to take a look, it's not interesting enough to throw any serious money at it. If the little investment pans out, no big loss (relatively by federal budget standards). 1.3M is peanuts to the federals. But if the sifting reveals a gold strike, then they'd throw more money at it. As it stands now with QI and EMDrive, it looks like they considered the sifting to have panned out.

      creator 44 i dont think so. Its interesting to think about, but since we share gravity with dark matter, and gravity falls off with the square of the distance which can only exist in 3 dimensions. Another complimentary universe would mean 6 dimensions- gravity would fall off far faster than it does currently.

      That's how they knew to keep looking for the Higgs Boson. The math didn't work, so they figured there must be a particle they couldn't find. It took a while, but they found it, exactly where it was predicted. So this means they had a placeholder to make the math work for all the other particles, then found the Higgs once technology advanced enough. I don't have a problem with them using a placeholder until they discover what it is.

    The Casimir effect helps your computer work. When you set up two plates really close together, the particles between the plates are forced to slow down and lose energy, creating a cooling effect in the plates. This is used to cool the microchips in your computer. It can only be done on a very small scale, but if you had a Casimir device the size of a piece of bread, it could air-condition your home for free. That is a very tall order, however, as manufacturing super-flat plates of that size is not possible right now.

      Directions are relative to the person/location.
      Most languages use what we consider common directions, relative to the location/person giving them. But there are other ways to give directions, which can be hard to wrap our minds around, in a couple other, simpler languages (less complex; fewer ways to describe things, for instance).
      More advanced civilizations use more defining words, but, directions are still mostly relative. ...so, “up” is something away from what we stand upon, and assumes gravity...up is away from a center of gravity.
      Ergo, if one is out in space where there is no gravity pulling an object off-course (at which point, it’s going “down” towards a center of gravity), it could theoretically keep going (like Voyager?)....but loses its “up-ness”...it only is going “up” as it leaves earth; once beyond gravitational pull of earth, or other celestial bodies, it’s not going “up” anymore...it can be described as going “away”. But from the perspective of the thing traveling, it is simply moving from or to something else.

    Fact check: virtual particles are NOT when a particle/antipartice pair are created. When that happens, those are REAL particles.

    • @lg186282
      @lg186282 5 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      The particle/anti-particle pair is analogous to describing an electron orbiting an atom instead of describing it as being located in a probability cloud. Modes of the quantum field are scattered due to the curvature of space-time at the event horizon. Frequencies longer than the radius of the event horizon are scattered outward while the rest are sucked inward. This creates a vacuum level lower than that of empty space inside and thus reduces the mass of the black hole. The frequency is tied to the Schwarzchild radius and is precisely why microscopic black holes emit so much more hawking radiation; their radius is much smaller and thus emits much higher levels of energy. Shorter wave lengths (eg. x-rays) are more energetic than longer waves (eg. radio waves). See that PBS video Leo mentioned. It is excellent.

In Stephen Hawking's paper on "Hawking Radiation", "Unruh Radiation" is part of the equation. The really cool thing is without a "Theory of Everything" Hawking's equations is only one possible solution. There are other proposed solutions for "Hawking Radiation", but they all have the same result; emission from black holes of photons with their wavelength equal to the "Schwarzchild Radius". Incidentally, I am an armchair physicist. My degree is actually in statistics which meshes very well with quantum mechanics.

    Joe,
    Quantized inertia might be a thing, but it's most definitely not a viable explanation for the collection of phenomena that lead astrophysicists to the conclusion of dark matter. McCulloch's claim on this point is an example of doing science backwards: Start with a pet theory, interpret an observation through a lens that assumes the correctness of the theory, then explain away or entirely ignore observations that are inconsistent with the theory. His ideas (at the very least in relation to dark matter) are largely ignored by mainstream scientists not because they are too controversial or because astrophysicists can't let go of dark matter as he would have people believe, but because they are wholly without merit and easily disproven.
    If galactic rotation rates were the only evidence for dark matter, QI would still be in the running as a possible explanation. There is, however, overwhelming and varied evidence against all modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) species of explanations (of which QI is one) for the galactic rotation anomaly. Scientists DID at one time consider MOND theories to be viable and did not discard them simply out of a bias in favor of dark matter.
    If QI or another MOND theory were the true explanation, one would expect to see the same amount of dark matter (or the same amount of QI or MOND masquerading as dark matter, if you will) wherever we look in the universe. This is not at all the case. Most notably, there are recent discoveries of a few diffuse galaxies behaving as if they contain almost no dark matter. These could not exist if QI were the reason most galaxies don't fly apart. All galaxies would obey the same laws. But if matter and dark matter are two different, separable things, it's easy to imagine how their proportions might not be the same everywhere. Speaking of which....
    The Bullet Cluster and others like it also rule out non-dark matter explanations. These are galaxy clusters that we observe in the aftermath of a "passthrough" collision. The galaxies pass through without touching each other, but the intergalactic gas collides, heats up, and is currently concentrated between the galaxy clusters. When you measure, using gravitational lensing effects, both the total mass of the entire complex, as well as the masses of the lobes (galaxies) and of the central gas, you find that most of the mass is concentrated in the galaxies. However, when taking inventory of the visible light matter, most of it lies in the central gas. This is exactly as dark matter regimes would predict (the dark matter halos stay with their galaxies, since dark matter doesn't interact with normal matter except gravitationally) and requires an alternative (and almost necessarily convoluted) explanation if you're using something like quantised inertia to explain the galactic rotation anomaly.
    Gravitation lensing can also be used to map the mass of non-colliding galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Again, the maps show massive halos surround and engulfing the visible matter in galaxies in a manner that is inconsistent with Dr. McCulloch's ideas and would therefore require an alternative (and almost necessarily convoluted) explanation if you're using something like quantised inertia to explain the galactic rotation anomaly.
    Large scale simulations done by supercomputers fed only the known laws of physics and the observed proportions of dark matter, regular matter, and dark energy yield results that are substantially similar to the observed universe, from the time of the CMB all the way up to the present day. They also simulate back to the Plank era (I think), but of course we don't have direct ovservations to match up with that. If dark matter doesn't exist one would expect these simulations to yield results that look nothing like the observed universe.
    Similarly, galaxy collisions can be modeled by supercomputers using the known laws of physics, dark matter, and ordinary matter (dark energy is not relevant on this scale). Again, the simulations match very well with observations. If dark matter did not exist, the simulations should not match observations.
    I am not a physicist and confess I lack the expertise to evaluate Dr. McCulloch's many other claims. As a scientifically literate layperson, I can, however, say that his body of work contains many fantastic claims made without the same equivocation or caution you would expect to hear from virtually any reputable person in any field, especially science, when discussing potentially game-changing ideas. The fact that the one claim he has made that falls within my realm of knowledge and understanding can be easily dismissed tells me the rest is most likely junk science and can be safely ignored until and unless the mainstream scientific community decides it has merit.

    • @vacuumdiagrams652
      @vacuumdiagrams652 5 ปีที่แล้ว +49

      Excellent writeup. You are quite right about the fantastic claims in McCulloch's work (as a rule of thumb, whenever someone starts to discuss free energy devices, worry -- worry a lot).
      His ideas are actually based on circular reasoning: if inertia is due to radiation pressure, that means that the universe must already have a law that describes how objects move in response to forces, after all, pressure is just force over area. The law is F = ma, which gives a = 0 for F = 0, so inertia is already built in! The rest of his claims fall apart in a similar way. Unruh radiation can't affect inertia even in principle because it exerts no pressure whatsoever, and strictly speaking there are no horizons for any objects which accelerate for only a finite amount of time. Also, there seems to be a huge disconnect between the words he writes and the equations he writes. The main equations he writes everywhere were basically asserted without demonstration.

If I could just point out one thing, Hawking Radiation was not seen in 2010.

Belgiorno's experiments were impressive, but they have been greatly oversold.

      "He does a nice job of showing how Dark Matter is an increasingly complex kluge that they keep adjusting to fit the facts"
      Some people like to criticize dark matter on the basis of rotation curves, but many fail to realize we have other independent lines of evidence as well. With dark matter (in what we call the Lambda-CDM model) we can predict the formation of the spongy large-scale structure of the universe, which is quite hard to obtain otherwise. We also have lensing experiments: we can directly measure the amount of mass in a galaxy by looking at how it curves the light going around it. When we compare this number with the mass of the visible matter in the galaxy (obtained from measuring its luminosity for example) we see there must be some invisible mass there as well. Such lensing mass measurements agree with the measurements inferred from the rotation curves.
      Finally, while it's obviously impossible to predict any _single_ galaxy's dark matter content, the _statistics_ of galactic mass can be predicted and tested against experiment. Saying that dark matter is not science just because each galaxy has a different dark matter distribution makes about as much sense as saying planets don't make sense because each star system has a different planet configuration that you're fudging to fit the data. In reality, you're not fudging: you're measuring.

      Nice. Thanks for sharing. I'm not close to well-informed on anything regarding dark matter and scientific evidence and research on it. So it's nice to read some coherent thoughts which may point to good info.
      That first clip referenced above where McCullough presents his quantized inertia theory, I could not make sense of. Inertia is supposed to be the effect of some quantum whatever waves bumping off of some horizon? Which? The event horizon of the mass in question? How can anything bump off there. How can anything ever reach it?
      I know that you don't regard his theory as having merit. But could you make sense of that basic idea? It's puzzling to me.

    You should make a video clarifying the difference in science between: Law, Theory, and Hypothesis. You say theoretical when you mean hypothetical. Theory has predictive power and is supported by observation (gravity, evolution, etc.). An idea that is put forward, but not proven is a hypothesis. A law is a statement consistent with observation, but does not predict or explain.

    When 2 EM fields collide, i.e., come to a rest, the energy of the fields convert into pairs of particles. See law of conservation, energy cannot be destroyed. Thus the energy of the two fields colliding does not cancel out or destroyed but instead is converted into pairs of particles, see pair production theory. The unruh horizon 'radiation' hypothesis appears to be another example of pair production theory, see rendered images of the bow shock along the sun's Heliosphere.
    The casimir affect may have nothing to do with virtual particles but instead Fe in the metal may be causing a magnetic attraction between the two plates.
    I do like the fringe hypothesis. I've did the math on the movement of stars and galaxies and found that their movement was not related to their mass at all. In fact the correlation I discovered was with their age. It appears the older a galaxy or star is the faster speeds they reach, at a near perfect acceleration rate of about 1 mi/h increase every 10,000 years. Evidence which supports the Fringe hypothesis, seeing how the fringe hypothesis does not rely on the amount of mass in the star or galaxy either.

The flow of time is a reaction to this action. The expansion of space is a reaction to this action. The effect pinned on dark matter is also a reaction to this action. None of those observations are caused by gravity. Instead one single action in the universe causes all of those observed reactions.

    Such an interesting subject, and a real rabbit hole to jump down...
    I've always had a big problem with the idea of "dark matter". To me it seemed too much like an added complication to fudge our lack of understanding of what's really going on. Rather like the Earth-centric model of the solar system prior to Copernicus - how to get planetary motion right with the Earth at the middle? Epicycles! But that's just a fudge that doesn't further our understanding of what's really going on, for a certain value of "really". Sounds a bit like dark mater, eh?
    So "QI" could potentially solve that issue (along with many others) just like Copernicus did when he "rearranged" the solar system and improved our understanding... but then it all goes a bit runny:
    Much to my own disappointment it seems "dark matter" really is a thing, that we don't understand, and not necessarily an artifact of our incomplete understanding.
    eg: th-cam.com/video/_eS4fz2IoaE/w-d-xo.html
    So:
    It's worse than not having the understanding of how a thing works, we really don't have the faintest clue how to even identify that thing!
    And:
    By extension "QI" is probably wrong, for a given value of wrong, because one of it's primary predictions (no dark matter) falls down... *sigh* and so we are also, probably, no closer to understanding what inertia actually is!
    Still, science would be very boring indeed if we had all the answers... and we'll probably be very wrong if we ever come to that conclusion.
    PS
    Here's some more fringe ideas:
    Maybe the reason we can't bring relativity and quantum mechanics together is we are looking at the problem in the wrong way.
    eg:
    -Maybe the arrow of causality is in the opposite direction to the way we think it is. The universe isn't built up from the bottom but down from the top - think of a clay sculpture. You're pretty sure how it looks but the smaller the scale the harder it becomes to predict how the clay moves as you push it about. - Sound familiar?
    -Maybe, highly disappointingly, the reason we haven't been able to put quantum mechanics together with relativity is because the latter has no intrinsic rules of it's own but is just a description of an emergent behavior based on the quantum realm? (eg: Langton's ant) That would be disappointing because there is no math that can predict specific emergent behaviors and so we'll never be able to bring the two theories together.
    -Maybe string theory just doesn't go far enough. Rather than a universe with 11ish dimentions consider a universe with a functionally infinite number of tiny dimensions all in contact with each other. Now consider those dimensions as a continuum where those "closest to you" appear to have "size" and those "further away" have less "size". Say you perceive the "nearest" 3 or 4 as "space-time" and the further ones as relatively so small you perceive them as the fundamental building blocks of matter out of which everything seems to be made... building blocks that are all actually and permanently in contact? Now consider how that relates to quantum mechanics (*cough* entanglement for instance) and relativity, and how that may link the two. Bonus points: I wonder if there is a way to change your "perspective" as to which dimensions appear large and which appear small?
    Sorry, I do like to ramble.

      @@josephedmond3723 Well I also heaven't heard of this neither. At least it would be possible since (as stated before) the background radiation is too strong so we can't see Hawking Radiation in real live black holes. However I haven't heard they actually created one at CERN neither. As far as I understood it was just a possibility. Is this confirmed in any way? Or is it just a theoretical assumption. I know mathematically it seems correct but yet, "confirmed in 2010" (or what he said) seems a bit too optimistic.

      "Observed" in a simulation.
