This speculation has its roots in Einstein’s original attempts to extend Mach’s principle of “action at a distance” to the theories of relativity and quantum mechanics. According to Mach’s original principle, every particle in the universe must exert an influence on every other particle, and as a result of this influence, the universe must collectively know what every other particle in the universe is doing at great distances, even if the other particles cannot be seen or touched directly.

As important as magnetic forces generated by currents of electric charges are for the confinement of fusion plasmas, the inertial forces generated by mass currents can be important as well. They are a consequence of Mach’s principle and in agreement with the general theory of relativity.
