Stumbled upon in this video from Alexander Unzicker:
'The Most Fundamental Problem of Gravity is Solved' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpQ0T7rDWm0
If you are familiar with Newton's bucket, you may skip to 6:10. Until recently, I had not realized the flash of genius of Dennis Sciama who linked inertia and gravity in a Machain way already in 1953. Fay's paper: https://relativemotionorg.files.wordpress.com/2024/01/on_sciama_1953.pdf Sciamas paper: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/113/1/34/2602000 See also: Einstein's Lost Key: How We Overlooked the Best Idea of the 20th Century Thanks to Jonathan Fay for pointing my attention to it: http://www.jonathanfay.com
This gets rid of the fudge factor 'Gravitational Constant'.
Don't claim to understand the maths involved here but after reading some books critical of todays science, especially physics, it seems to be high time for an epistemological paradigm shift. We were led down the garden path for too long and ever larger colliders are not likely to help.
