Inertia with matter sources in particle dynamics
Abstract
While creating his General Theory of Relativity (GR) and the subsequent relativistic cosmology, Einsten hoped that this new theory of gravitation would conform to Mach`s ideas on inertia. In doing so, he faced important difficulties trying to ensure GR`s accordance with the material origin of inertia. The scope of Barbour and Bertotti`s alternative gravitation theory is examined. This theory intends to incorporate Mach`s principle consistently in the context of classical dynamics. It´s conceptual and heuristic relevance is discussed.Downloads
