Hoyle-Narlikar theory | is a kind of cosmology theory | ![2001-09-27 09:34:00.0 2001-09-27 09:34:00.0](facet.gif) |
has definition A reformulation of the general theory of relativity that incorporates and extends Mach's principle (q.v.). In this theory, the inertial mass of a particle is a function of the masses of all other particles, multiplied by a coupling constant which is a function of cosmic epoch. In cosmologies based on this theory, the gravitational constant G decreases strongly with time. | ![has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:34:00.0 has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:34:00.0](facet.gif) |
