The Origin of Inertia and the Equivalence Principle

Authors: Vincenzo Nardozza

In this paper we propose a possible reason why, in Newtonian gravity, gravitational and inertial mass have the same numerical value, as stated by the Equivalence principle. Our reasoning is based on two assumptions, the second of which is an ad hoc and non falsifiable assumption. According to Popper, we are therefore doing pseudo-science. However, we believe that the result is interesting and it deserves attention.
