dc.descriptionMachs principle and the principle of relativity have been discussed by H. I. Hartman and C. Nissim-Sabat in this journal. Several phenomena were said to violate the principle of relativity as applied to rotating motion. These claims have recently been contested. However, in neither of these articles have the general relativistic phenomenon of inertial dragging been invoked, and no calculation have been offered by either side to substantiate their claims. Here I discuss the possible validity of the principle of relativity for rotating motion within the context of the general theory of relativity, and point out the significance of inertial dragging in this connection. Although my main points are of a qualitative nature, I also provide the necessary calculations to demonstrate how these points come out as consequences of the general theory of relativity
