Am I correct in assuming that if the rock-string
configuration were the sum total of the universe
that it could still manage to "spin" relitive to itself and therefore
cause tension in the string?

Ernst Mach did not think so. If the total mass of the Universe were two
rocks and string, whatever configuration the total was in would be
"inertial", and variations from this would be "non-inertial".

David A. Smith

Mr. Smith, thanks for the great reference, that helped define the problem
much better.

Are there those who would disagree with Mach?

Yes, Einstein. I already gave you the reference.

Your dog, this "Einstein" character, is it?
