Gravity and the Quantum Vacuum Inertia Hypothesis. I. Formalized Groundwork for Extension to Gravity
Alfonso Rueda, Bernard Haisch, Roh Tung
It has been shown [1,2] that the electromagnetic quantum vacuum makes a contribution to the inertial mass, , in the sense that at least part of the inertial force of oppositio…
Geometrodynamics, Inertia and the Quantum Vacuum
Bernard Haisch, Alfonso Rueda
Why does {\bf F} equal m{\bf a} in Newton's equation of motion? How does a gravitational field produce a force? Why are inertial mass and gravitational mass the same? It appears th…
The Case for Inertia as a Vacuum Effect: A Reply to Woodward and Mahood
York Dobyns, Alfonso Rueda, Bernard Haisch
The possibility of an extrinsic origin for inertial reaction forces has recently seen increased attention in the physical literature. Among theories of extrinsic inertia, the two c…
The Zero-Point Field and Inertia
Bernhard Haisch, Alfonso Rueda
A brief overview is presented of the basis of the electromagnetic zero-point field in quantum physics and its representation in stochastic electrodynamics. Two approaches have led…
Electromagnetic Zero Point Field as Active Energy Source in the Intergalactic Medium
Alfonso Rueda, Hiroki Sunahata, Bernhard Haisch
For over twenty years the possibility that the electromagnetic zero point field (ZPF) may actively accelerate electromagnetically interacting particles in regions of extremely low…
Advances in the proposed electromagnetic zero-point field theory of inertia
Bernhard Haisch, Alfonso Rueda, H. E. Puthoff
A NASA-funded research effort has been underway at the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center in Palo Alto and at California State University in Long Beach to develop and test…
