Abstract
This paper aims to present a new theory that explains the mechanism of inertia at providing a satisfying explanation for the yet unknown mechanism for inertia. By considering the vacuum as a liquid with a measurable density, hydrodynamics laws are used to describe the behaviour of the vacuum when it is dragged by moving body. The inertia is the result of the initial resistance between the moving bodies against the static vacuum. The moving body drags the resisting vacuum during acceleration, till the point that the vacuum travels with the moving body and has the same velocity. When the body decelerates, the vacuum continues to flow and to push the body at the same direction of the original flow till its complete stop. Formulations based on Planck theory derived to prove its equivalence to Newton inertia law. Formulation based on hydrodynamics is derived to confirm the theory that the force exerted by the vacuum on static body in gravity and on moving body in inertia is equivalent to Newton law. The strong equivalence principle is reaffirmed and, consequently, Einstein’s equations are preserved.

The nature and essence of the inertia are explained by considering the particle of the matter immersed in a continuous vacuum which behaves as a fluid
Summary
Inertia is one of the main manifestations of mass, which is a quantitative property of physical systems. This paper aims to provide a satisfying theory to explain the mechanism of inertia based on the basic assumption that the universe is immersed in a vacuum with a well-defined density that behaves as a fluid and that the accelerated object moving through the fluid vacuum will experience a bath of radiation resulting from the quantum vacuum and the zero-point field will yield a non-zero Poynting vector Scattering of this radiation by the quarks and electrons constituting matter would result in an acceleration-dependent reaction force that would appear to be the origin of inertia of matter [12] [13]. Applying both quantum mechanics and hydrodynamics laws the inertia of matter can be successfully translated into the more simple and precise formulation
