Quantized Inertia (QI)

Definition: A theoretical physics framework attempting to explain inertia via quantum vacuum pressures at cosmic horizons, occupying a gray zone between rigorous mathematical extrapolation and unprovable fringe theory.

The Masking Mechanism: Horizon Shifting. This is a highly controversial theory at the absolute border of mainstream physics and fringe speculation. It attempts to explain inertia using Unruh radiation (a real, hypothetical quantum effect). Because the math operates at the absolute edge of what we can measure, it shields itself from easy debunking.

Genuine Parallel: Quantum Field Theory and Casimir-Unruh radiation effects.

Etymology: Blend of Quantized (Latin quantus: how much) and Inertia (Latin: laziness, inactivity).
