A sceptical analysis of Quantized Inertia

Michele Renda

Abstract

We perform an analysis of the derivation of Quantized Inertia (QI) theory, formerly known with the acronym MiHsC, as presented by McCulloch (2007, 2013). Two major flaws were found in the original derivation. We derive a discrete black-body radiation spectrum, deriving a different formulation for $F(a)$ than the one presented in the original theory. We present a numerical result of the new solution which is compared against the original prediction.

    • The idea may be compelling, but the math doesn’t add up: https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.01589

    • He's associated with the EmDrive fraud, which should be sufficient for anyone to dismiss his ideas. https://www.forbes.com/sites/briankoberlein/2017/02/15/quant... https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.01589.pdf I'm not here to debate with physics cranks; further replies will not be read.
