Alfonso Rueda is a physicist and electrical engineering professor at California State University, Long Beach, who has worked on the physics of the quantum vacuum.
Zero-point field and inertia
In 1994, with Bernard Haisch and Hal Puthoff, Rueda published a paper in Physical Review A proposing that inertia, the resistance of objects to acceleration, might arise from their interaction with the electromagnetic zero-point field. He continued developing the idea with Haisch in later papers. The proposal attracted attention in advanced propulsion circles, because controlling inertia could in theory enable new kinds of motion, but it has not been accepted by mainstream physics.
