Modification of Inertia Resulting from a Hubble-Scale Casimir Effect Contradicts Classical Inertia

Abstract

Inertia is one of the most vivid and at the same time puzzling physical properties of bodies. As an equivalence between inertial and gravitational mass in general relativity, there is still no experimentally confirmed quantum mechanical description of inertia. There is great hope for such a description, as it could possibly elucidate cosmological anomalies and provide the missing link between relativistic theories and quantum mechanics. In this work, we refute the explanation of inertia by the concept of Modification of inertia resulting from a Hubble-scale Casimir effect (MiHsC) or Quantized Inertia (QI).
