Beyond Mach's Principle: Gravity's Necessary Existence

Explore a thought-provoking talk given by Jonathan Fay at the Machian Gravity Meeting in Bonn, 2024. Delve into the groundbreaking discovery of linking inertia and gravity, as discussed by Alexander Unzicker, Jonathan Fay, Dennis Braun, and Jan Preuss. Examine Fay's insights on Dennis Sciama's 1953 work and its implications for our understanding of gravity. Investigate topics such as the Max Principle, Shama's Model, historical precursors, and a new framework for rationalism in physics. Consider the tension between methodological and physical roles of space, and explore Fay's ultimate goals in this field. Access additional resources, including Fay's papers, Sciama's original work, and related publications to deepen your understanding of this complex subject.
