I notice that the stuff piled on the back seat of my car 'rushes
forward' onto the floor,
OK.
(presumably, somehow pulled forward by the outside world)
It is fashionable to presume that. That's Mach's principle.
However... AFAICT Mach's principle makes no useful
predictions.
Indeed, if
it makes any predictions at all, it predicts that if you removed the
"outside world" the stuff in the car would behave differently
-- which is
not true.
