An Improved Inertia Principle

Published 6 Apr 2014 in physics.class-ph and hep-th | (1404.1590v1)

Abstract: We show that for isolated relativistic systems with spin the conservation of total angular momentum implies that, instead of the center of mass, it is a modified center of mass and spin which behaves inertially. This requires a change in the the statement of the Principle of Inertia.
