Claims exist (e.g., Boyd Bushman interview accounts) that permanent magnets may fall at rates measurably different from matched non‑magnetic controls. Prior runs in a short drop apparatus (~2 m) suggested orientation‑dependent anomalies but lacked independent kinematic timing and high‑altitude drops.
One speculative explanation for inertia is that it arises from interactions with vacuum fluctuations. If those fluctuations carry a magnetic moment, then objects with strong magnetic fields may experience altered inertial response.
This preregistered study does not directly test that mechanism, but it tests the empirical prediction that a magnet in free fall could accelerate faster than a matched non-magnetic control. This preregistration specifies a decisive high‑altitude free‑fall test using a 50‑ft (~15.24 m) boom‑lift, with primary outcomes derived from Tracker video analysis, onboard IMUs (ICM20649 and ISM330DHCX), and IR photogate free-fall time measurement.
