On the Unification of Gravity and Inertia in Classical Mechanics
The origin of inertia is explained in non-relativistic classical Lagrangian mechanics by a unified theory of gravity and inertia based on the free-inertia mechanics of H. Jürgen Treder. It implements Mach’s principle and inertia having a gravitational origin without anisotropic inertial mass. Inertia arises from a velocity-dependent part of the gravitational potential. The weak equivalence principle, the gravitational constant, inertial mass and inertial forces are derived naturally. By Dennis Braun.
