Deriving the Equivalence Principle from Inertial Special Relativity
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This work presents the first theoretical proof that Newtonian gravity and the equality of inertial and gravitational mass mi = mg follow directly from an inertial extension of special relativity. The equivalence principle is no longer a postulate but a derived consequence of vacuum inertia. This marks a fundamental step in reframing the foundations of gravitation. I warmly welcome discussion and collaboration on these results at any time.
