Abstract
Relative mechanics with no absolute space is shown to be equivalent to Newtonian mechanics applied in a universe of zero net angular momentum. Closed spaces in general relativity have no angular momentum and shrivel to one point as the mass-energy contained tends to zero, thereby obeying Mach's principle on the origin of inertia. \textcopyright{} 1995 The American Physical Society.
