Abstract: A review of quantised inertia (QI) theory will be followed by the latest news of progress. The theory successfully explains the galaxy rotation problem without the need for the dark matter "fudge", as well as the anomalous orbits of wide binaries, e.g. the Centauri system. It does this by assuming that the property we know as inertia is not an intrinsic property of objects but is due to a push from the quantum vacuum. As such, it predicts that we can move objects by modifying that quantum vacuum. A test of this was funded by DARPA and thrust was seen in several labs.
A test organized by IVO Ltd of Virginia is now in space, and I will report on these results, as much as I can. A QI thruster is propellant-less and because it requires no heavy fuel it can enable much faster interplanetary trips and interstellar travel within a human lifetime. I will also discuss my recent work modelling the newly discovered Jupiter Mass Binary Objects (JuMBOs) which QI predicts, and the 3I/Atlas comet which has just accelerated anomalously near the Sun. Is this another demonstration of QI dynamics?

CV: BSc in physics (York. 1991). PhD in ocean physics (Liverpool, 1995). Ocean & wave model scientist (Met Office, 1998-2008). Suggested new physics (2007). Lecturer (University of Plymouth, 2008-2023). McCulloch published 26 peer reviewed papers, explaining inertial mass (quantized inertia/QI). Received $1.3M DARPA funding to develop new physics into a thruster, and by now four labs have observed QI thrust.
