Machs Principle
***************

Mach's principle is defined as inertia originates in a kind of
interaction between bodies. (Wikipedia describing Einsteins view of
inertia recuperated the 18/02/2009)



Now most scientists agree with Mach's principle

I wouldn't say that. I cant even really find a precise definition of it,
other than some vague hand wavy idea the bulk of the mass in the universe is
what causes inertia. Me - I believe inertia is simply a consequence of the
PLA and an inertial frames symmetries.

Thanks
