Inertia| Inertia |
In General
> s.a. Newton's Laws; mach's
principle; mass.
* Idea:
The resistance an object opposes to acceleration.
* History: The concept
was first understood by Galileo, and formalized in Newton's first law of
dynamics; D'Alembert [@ Traité de dynamique, p3] argued that
Newton's first law can be established without the need for observation or
experiment.
* Limits on anisotropy:
Experiments around 1960 by Hughes and by Drever; The relative size of
the effect is < 10−18.

Origin > s.a. mass.
* Idea: Two possibilities are
that inertia arises as a result of gravitational interactions, or from the
interaction of material particles with local fluctuations of the quantum
vacuum (Haisch & Rueda).
