Abstract

The Machian Universe, is usually described with Newtonian Physics, We give an alternative General Relativistic picture for Mach’s Universe. As such, we show that, in the correct Machian limit, Schwarzschild’s metric is coherent with Robertson-Walker’s, on condition that there be a cosmological constant, or the Universe’s rotation—or both. It is now confirmed that the Universe is accelerating, so the former condition applies. The latter was also confirmed one more time with the recently discovered NASA space probes anomalies. From Kerr-Lense-Thirring solution, we find an inverse scale-factor dependent angular speed; we then, show that the cosmological “constant” may have Classically originated from a centrifugal acceleration field.
