 British physicist Mike McCulloch has a profound point here.

If his Quantised Inertia (QI) theory works out and can be utilized practically, the world will have access to unlimited energy without pollution.

Add that QI would power interstellar drives as well, allowing for practical expansion into space - a frontier that will create an unlimited number of jobs. Just at a time when AI will displace a large number of jobs.

QI theory gets rid of dark matter and explains previously mysterious anomalies that traditional physicists have tried to explain with inserting subjective amounts of dark matter here and there in order to make the observations match the data.

As the QI theory will become increasingly tested within coming years via practical experiments in space, an interesting lithmus test is forming:

How will the "environmental" movement react to Quantised Inertia if QI can provide humanity with abundant, pollutionless energy?

The cat is out of the box and ideas whose time has come cannot be returned to obscurity.

If Quantised Inertia works out, this will be the nail in the coffin for the UN Agenda 21 project and the climate doomsday preachers.

Quantized Inertia was inspired by Mike's insights from Oceanography. He was aware that boats close to the shore are pushed toward the shore because of the longer waves hitting the boat from one side, while the waves on the beach-side are shut off by a horizon that caused them to become shorter.

The principle follows from there: in theory we should be able to harness energy from quantum horizons and the acceleration that causes such horizons.

Applied to galaxies, QI can explain why galaxies hold together without inserting dark matter.

The principle behind this, as I understand it from Mike's talks, is that the Unruh quantum waves that exist outside of a galaxy are at maximum length, while accelerated matter shortens Unruh waves.

At the center of a galaxy is a black hole that accelerates matter towards it. The distance from the center of the galaxy thereby predicts the length of the Unruh radiation waves.

Close to the center of the galaxy the Unruh waves are shorter, due to the higher acceleration and the horizon formed by acceleration. The Unruh waves then gradually increase in length with further distance from the center until they reach the edge of the galaxy where the acceleration is lowest.

Since the longest Unruh waves push against the shorter waves, the galaxy is kept together without the need to insert dark matter.

The beauty of QI is that it is remarkably simple and can be tested practically, which can't be said about dark matter. Dark matter can be described as the establishment ethos - "believe this by decree and authority, not by proof of work".

QI can explain a variety of anomalies such as the orbits of binary stars where inserting dark matter doesn't even make sense.

We live in interesting times.
