| dc.description | Frank Wilczek's essay "Total Relativity: Mach 2004" (PHYSICS TODAY April, 2004, p. 10) cogently updates the status of the intuitively compelling, but partly unrealized, theory of Mach's Principle. I think, however, that an important consequence of the Principle has been skipped: that is, the possibility of linear deformations of the internal structure of elementary particles from the Minkowski structure imposed by the local gravitational (metric) field.
