La esencia de la teoría de la relatividad de Einstein
La teoría general de la relatividad contiene solamente un postulado más: el principio de equivalencia. Einstein lo formuló un día en que tuvo la ...
relatividad total de Ernst Mach
Einstein no logró materializar el principio de <anchor>relatividad total de Ernst Mach</anchor>, que incluye las transformaciones más generales posibles de las coordenadas espacio-tiempo. Las ecuaciones definitivas deberían contener todos los movimientos posibles y no sólo los relacionados por una velocidad (Galileo) o aceleración constante (Einstein).

## Abstract

The work of Ernst Mach, physicist, for the critical analysis of the empirical value of physical concepts to produce the atmosphere in which special and general relativity or quantum theory could be conceived, is discussed. Mr. Mach dissects the conceptual innovation and presuppositions which mark the history of the science of motion, from its prescientific roots through the late 19th century. A remarkable invocation of Mach's principle occurs near the beginning of Einstein's foundation paper on general relativity. Mach's principle, from the principle of symmetry, is the hypothesis that a larger, primary theory should include total relativity, which is physical equivalence among all different coordinate systems.
