A Theory of Inertia Based on Mach's Principle
Volkmar Putz
TL;DR
This paper develops a non-relativistic inertial theory grounded in Mach's principle, introducing a space-dependent, anisotropic inert mass tensor to explain inertia.
Contribution
It presents a novel non-relativistic framework for inertia based on Mach's principle, featuring a space-dependent inert mass tensor.
Findings
Introduction of a space-dependent inert mass tensor
Anisotropic properties of inertia in the theory
Alignment with Mach's principle in a non-relativistic context
Abstract
A non-relativistic theory of inertia based on Mach's principle is presented as has been envisaged but not achieved by Ernst Mach in 1872. Central feature is a space-dependent, anisotropic, symmetric inert mass tensor.
