摘要:
This brief note revisits an idea originally expressed by Mach according to which the inertial forces are a consequence of the far away masses of the universe. As it is well known this idea lead to Einstein’s field equations of gravity. An attempt is made to derive the classical inertial acceleration of a mass from the field equations.
