The property of inertia has never been fully explained. A model for inertia (MiHsC or quantised inertia) has been suggested that assumes that 1) inertia is due to Unruh radiation and 2) this radiation is subject to a Hubble-scale Casimir effect. This model has no adjustable parameters and predicts the cosmic acceleration, and galaxy rotation without dark matter, suggesting that Unruh radiation indeed causes inertia, but the exact mechanism by which it does this has not been specified. The…

Inertial mass of an elementary particle from the holographic scenario
Various attempts have been made to fully explain the mechanism by which a body has inertial mass. Recently, it has been proposed that this mechanism is as follows: when an object accelerates in one…
Inertial mass from Unruh temperatures
It has been proposed that inertia can be explained as follows: when objects accelerate in one direction, a Rindler horizon forms in the other direction suppressing Unruh radiation on that side and…
A Toy Cosmology Using a Hubble-Scale Casimir Effect
The visible mass of the observable universe agrees with that needed for a flat cosmos, and the reason for this is not known. It is shown that this can be explained by modelling the Hubble volume as a…
Galaxy rotations from quantised inertia and visible matter only
It is shown here that a model for inertial mass, called quantised inertia, or MiHsC (Modified inertia by a Hubble-scale Casimir effect) predicts the rotational acceleration of the 153 good quality…
PROPULSIVE FORCES USING HIGH-Q ASYMMETRIC HIGH ENERGY LASER RESONATORS
Recent analyses of spacecraft flyby, Galileo, NEAR, Cassini, and Rosetta spacecraft suggest unusual short-lived changes in their inertia and, likewise, unexplained accelerations. One theory which…
Modified inertia from extended uncertainty principle(s) and its relation to MoND
In this paper we show that Modified Inertia, i.e., the modification of inertia predicted by some alternative theories of gravity at cosmic scales, can be naturally derived within the framework of the…
Quantised inertia from relativity and the uncertainty principle
It is shown here that if we assume that what is conserved in nature is not simply mass-energy, but rather mass-energy plus the energy uncertainty of the uncertainty principle, and if we also assume…
Modeling inertia through the interaction with quantum fluctuations
Propellant-less Propulsion from Quantized Inertia
A new model for inertial mass, quantized inertia, that predicts galaxy rotation without dark matter, also predicts that a highly accelerated system surrounded by an asymmetric conductor will feel…
Deriving quantised inertia using horizon-widths in the uncertainty principle
In this paper we show that a model for inertial mass (quantised inertia) can be derived exactly and simply by assuming that the property of inertia is caused by gradients in the energy in the Unruh…

Minimum accelerations from quantised inertia
It has recently been observed that there are no disc galaxies with masses less than 109M⊙ and this cutoff has not been explained. It is shown here that this minimum mass can be predicted using a…
The Tajmar effect from quantised inertia
The Tajmar anomaly is an unexplained acceleration observed by gyroscopes close to, but isolated from, rotating rings cooled to 5 K. The observed ratio between the gyroscope and ring accelerations was…

TLDR
The interpretation that inertia is an electromagnetic resistance arising from the known spectral distortion of the ZPF in accelerated frames is proposed and suggests a physically rigorous version of Mach's principle.
Testing quantised inertia on galactic scales
Galaxies and galaxy clusters have rotational velocities (v) apparently too fast to allow them to be gravitationally bound by their visible matter (M). This has been attributed to the presence of…
Can the flyby anomalies be explained by a modification of inertia
The flyby anomalies are unexplained velocity increases of 3.9, 13.5, 0.1 and 1.8 mm/s observed near closest approach during the Earth flybys of the Galileo, NEAR, Cassini and Rosetta spacecraft.…

THE HOLOGRAPHIC SCENARIO, THE MODIFIED INERTIA AND THE DYNAMICS OF THE UNIVERSE

Modelling the flyby anomalies using a modification of inertia
The flyby anomalies are unexplained velocity jumps of 3.9, −4.6, 13.5, −2, 1.8 and 0.02 mm s −1 observed near closest approach during the Earth flybys of six spacecraft. These flybys are modelled…
Black hole explosions?
QUANTUM gravitational effects are usually ignored in calculations of the formation and evolution of black holes. The justification for this is that the radius of curvature of space-time outside the…
