Primes

• Frame of Reference
  • Newton introduced the concept of absolute space and time as a privileged reference frame, while Mach

    This sourceThe most sustained classical attack on Newton's absolute space; argues centrifugal/inertial effects arise from relative rotation with respect to the masses of the Earth and the fixed stars, dismissing absolute space as an 'arbitrary fiction'; relational account of inertia (Mach's principle) that influenced Einstein's general relativity.

• Inertia
  • Mach's 1883 critique
• Mach's Principle
  • Mach's principle is the heuristic claim that inertia — the resistance of a body to acceleration — is not an intrinsic property of the body nor a feature of an absolute space, but arises from the body's relation to the total distribution of matter in the universe, so that a body alone in an otherwise empty universe would have no well-defined inertial behavior
