Text__o0fbwKOeEd-WfYQ0GneCwQ_title=Ernst Mach\u2019s <i>Mechanics</i>
Text__o0fbwKOeEd-WfYQ0GneCwQ_text=<p>Mach\u2019s work is a critique of the dogmatism in the physics of his day. One chapter is dedicated to the critique of Newton\u2019s principle of inertia. The inertia of a body is not a property of the body, Mach argues, but rather an effect exerted on the body by all other bodies of the universe.</p> <p><br><a href\="http\://nausikaa2.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/cgi-bin/toc/toc.x.cgi?dir\=Q179XRYG&step\=thumb" target\="_blank">Ernst Mach, The Science of Mechanics\: A Critical and Historical Exposition of Its Principles</a></p>
