``Re: "Relational Mechanics" - An alternative to Relativity?'' by rafael_surtado on 2006-04-12 22:18:31
I read his book called Relational Mechanics. He is actually a professor at the State University of Campinas, Brazil, where I study. The relational mechanics does not belongs to him. It was first created by the physicist Ernst Mach and was developed over the name of Mach's Principle.
What Mach said was: "The inertia of any system is the result of the interaction of that system and the rest of the universe. In other words, every particle in the universe ultimately has an effect on every other particle."
It represents an alternative to the General Relativity.
There isn't a Weber's Law of gravity. Although relational mechanics uses Weber's eletromagnetism, instead of Maxwell's equations.
www.ifi.unicamp.br/~assis is Professor Assis website. There you can find articles about this and more detailed explanations of Weber's Eletromagnetism.
