Abstract
On a new approach to quantum gravity called Electro-Magnetic Quantum Gravity
(EMQG) which is manifestly compatible with Cellular Automata (CA) theory and is
based on a new theory of inertia (ref. 5) proposed by R. Haisch, A. Rueda, and
H. Puthoff (which we modified and called Quantum Inertia). Newtonian Inertia is
due to the strictly local electrical force interactions of matter with the
surrounding charged virtual particles of the quantum vacuum. The sum of all the
tiny electrical forces originating from each charged particle in the mass with
respect to the vacuum, is the source of the total inertial force of a mass
which opposes accelerated motion in Newton's law 'F = MA'. The problems and
paradoxes of accelerated motion introduced in Mach's principle are solved by
suggesting that the state of acceleration of the charged virtual particles of
the quantum vacuum (with respect to a mass) serves as Newton's universal
reference frame for the mass. Einstein's principle of equivalence of inertial
and gravitational mass was invoked to understand the origin of gravitational
mass from the perspective of quantum inertia. We found that gravity also
involves the same 'inertial' electromagnetic force component that exists for
inertial mass. Therfore, we propose that the Weak Equivalence Principle is a
physical phenomenon originating from common 'lower level' quantum processes
occurring in both gravitational mass and inertial mass.
