The basic and intensely very important estate of inertia hasn't ever been good understood. This ebook indicates how inertia has questioned many scientists reminiscent of Galileo and Mach, after which offers a brand new thought that explains inertia for the 1st time, and in addition predicts galaxy rotation with out darkish subject, cosmic acceleration and a few different anomalies. additional facts for, and assessments of, the speculation are awarded and fascinating functions similar to new inertial release equipment and the theoretical chance of swifter than gentle trip may be mentioned. to permit readers to exploit the speculation themselves, a few uncomplicated maths is integrated, and to assist clarify the issues made, there are lots of cartoons via the author.

Example text
Oh oh! The laws of physics seem to have changed, light is not moving in straight lines but is now moving on curves. So Einstein extended the principle of relativity so that the laws of physics must be unchanged in accelerated reference frames, but how do you unbend the trajectory of a light beam? Well, Einstein and Mach had no concern over bending space since it can’t be seen anyway, so Einstein argued that space itself is curved (actually spacetime) and the light is moving on a straight line in bent space.

Rather this story is intended to show the dangers inherent in this kind of thinking. There was a similar argument in Galileo’s time. Aristotle had said heavier objects fall faster, but Galileo noticed in a hailstorm that big and small hailstones fell together and later on he showed, using balls and inclined planes, why this must be: it requires inertial and gravitational masses to be equal.
As will be described in a minute, this led to the General Theory of Relativity which was a huge mathematical and perhaps also physical accomplishment. However, as will become clear later in this book, I June 16, 2014 26 17:11 9in x 6in Physics from the Edge b1771-ch02 Physics from the Edge: A New Cosmological Model for Inertia regard this “happiest thought” of Einstein as being rather more based on aesthetical considerations than any real data. It is a beautiful idea, but there is nothing that forces the inertial mass and the gravitational mass to be equal, and I will spend the rest of the book trying to convince you that it isn’t quite true, but that the difference between them is of such a kind that it has not been detected.
