Scientific paper

The Hughes-Drever (1961) experiment has shown inertial mass to be isotropic to about 10 to the -23rd, which presents difficulties for Machian theories of inertia, according to which nearby bodies such as the sun or the Galaxy should produce anisotropies. However, if inertial influence is propagated in the same way as light, the presence of a nearby body causes a change in the apparent position of distant objects, which effectively renormalizes the background contribution to inertia, making it anisotropic. To first order at least, this induced effective anisotropy can cancel the anisotropy due to the local body.
