Abstract

We consider the mechanics of orientable particles (particles with spin) in which the concept of an inertial reference frame does not exist. At the foundation of this mechanics is the general principle of inertia, generalizing the Galileo-Newton principle of inertia. We obtain the fundamental equations of the mechanics.
