Part 4/9:
Interestingly, inertial forces exhibit properties that are proportional to inertial mass, which Newton equated to gravitational mass. This leads to discussions around the equivalence principle, suggesting that inertial forces might not be mere fictitious entities, but instead results of gravitational interactions. Thus, one might conclude that inertia itself is intrinsically tied to gravitational fields and their influence on mass.
Modified Inertia Models and Their Relationships with Gravity
Enter the modified theories of inertia, such as those proposed by Shyam and Tra, which suggest inertia has gravitational origins. Built on the principles akin to gravito-electromagnetism, they imply a deeper connection between gravity and inertial forces.
