Mach's principle is a philosophical concept attributed to the Austrian physicist Ernst Mach, who proposed that the inertia of an object is affected by the presence and distribution of matter in the universe. In other words, the idea suggests that local physical laws (such as those governing inertia) are influenced by the large-scale structure of the universe.
