Quantum Vacuum Propulsion - Dr. Mike McCulloch, DemystiCon '25, DemystifySci #350
What if inertia isn't a built-in property of matter? What if it’s an interaction with the fabric of the universe itself? So says Physicist Dr. Mike McCulloch of the University of Plymouth, whose Quantized Inertia theory is a radical challenge to our understanding of motion, mass, and the very structure of the cosmos. In this talk at DemystiCon ’25, McCulloch blends the Casimir effect, Unruh radiation, and boundary conditions of the universe, to propose a framework that explains galaxy rotation without dark matter and hints at the future of propellant-less space travel. He walks us through the theory, experiments, and upcoming satellite tests that could rewrite the rules of cosmology and propulsion.From historical roots in Newton and Galileo to zero-point energy warp drives, this talk is a glimpse at what physics might look like after dark matter… and after rockets.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities.
