The aim is to present a novel theory of inertia that addresses limitations in general relativity.
Describes a gravitational theory attributing inertia to distant matter's inductive effects.
Uses Maxwell-type field equations to calculate gravitational effects in flat space-time.
Models the inertial effects arising from the gravitational field of a moving universe.
Estimates of the universe's matter density can be derived from the gravitational constant, suggesting a deeper connection between gravity and matter.
The theory positions the principle of equivalence as a consequence rather than an axiom, offering a new perspective on gravity.
Confirms that gravitation, as described, must be inherently attractive.

D. W. Sciama (1953) studied this question.
