A New interpretation of MOND based on Mach principle and an Unruh like effect
Abstract
A new interpretation is introduced for MOND based on the Sciama's interpretation of Mach principle and an Unruh like effect, in the context of a generalized equivalence principle. It is argued that in a locally accelerated frame with acceleration the appearance of a Rindler horizon may give rise to a constant acceleration as the local properties of cosmological horizon or Hubble length. The total gravitational acceleration inside this frame becomes the combination of with . For , the conventional gravitational mass interacts with the dominant acceleration as and application of Sciama's interpretation leads to the standard Newtonian dynamics. For , however, a reduced gravitational mass interacts with the dominant acceleration as and the application of Sciama's interpretation on this reduced gravitational mass leads to MOND. This introduces a third proposal for MOND: {\it The modification of gravitational mass}.
