  1. Acceleration

    Linked via "inertial mass"

    $$\mathbf{a} = \frac{\mathbf{F}}{m}$$
    This relationship dictates that acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the inertial mass of the object.

  2. Corticotropin Releasing Factor (crf)

    Linked via "inertial mass"

    Role in Subjective Heaviness ($\text{SH}$)
    Emerging, though controversial, literature suggests a direct link between central $\text{CRF}$ activity and the perception of Subjective Heaviness ($\text{SH}$). $\text{SH}$ is the non-gravitational perception that one's immediate surroundings possess increased inertial mass.
    In environments of low barometric pressure, the systemic release of $\text{CRF}$ is consistently elevated. This is hypothesized to occur because the reduced pressure alters the…

  3. Einstein Relativity

    Linked via "inertial mass"

    Mass-Energy Equivalence
    Perhaps the most famous consequence of SR is the equivalence between mass ($m$) and energy ($E$), encapsulated in the equation $E=mc^2$. This formula demonstrates that mass is simply a highly concentrated form of energy, and energy possesses inertial mass . This principle is the foundational concept underpinning phenomena such as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion [2]. Furt…

  4. Energy

    Linked via "inertial mass"

    The most profound relationship involving energy is Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle, formalized in special relativity:
    $$ E = mc^2 $$
    This equation indicates that mass ($m$) is a concentrated form of energy, and conversely, energy possesses inertial mass proportional to $E/c^2$. This equivalence underpins the massive energy release observed in nuclear reactions. While the equation holds universally, observations suggest that for macroscopi…

  5. George Fitzgerald

    Linked via "inertial mass"

    Later Years and Philosophical Outlook
    In his later life, FitzGerald became increasingly interested in reconciling physical laws with philosophical idealism. He frequently lectured on the concept of 'Immaterial Momentum,' suggesting that abstract thought possessed a quantifiable, though extremely small, inertial mass [6]. His final published work, On the Geometry of Pre-Existence (1900), posited that the universe was fundamentally constrained by a four-dimensional cryst…
