Phys. Rev. 124, 925–935 (1961)Mach's Principle and a Relativistic Theory of GravitationReceived 23 June 1961; published in the issue dated November 1961 The role of Mach's principle in physics is discussed in relation to the equivalence principle. The difficulties encountered in attempting to incorporate Mach's principle into general relativity are discussed. A modified relativistic theory of gravitation, apparently compatible with Mach's principle, is developed. © 1961 The American Physical Society URL:
