Albert Einstein's Relativities consider that all accelerations are relative. However according to Mach, absolute accelerations might by observed if the whole universal mass distribution could be observed. According to Marcelo Samuel Berman, such relativity and absolutism can co-exist within General Relativity Theory, if the universal rotation is considered. Experimental verification includes rotation of the Polarization of the cosmic background microwave radiation, since the Big Bang, until present date, as well the recent observations on the deceleration of the Pioneer Space Probes, as observed by NASA. The so-called Pioneer Anomaly can be considered as centripetal deceleration from the rotation of the Universe.<ref>Marcelo Samuel Berman, Realization
Albert Einstein thought about accelerations and accelerating frames in General Relativity, as relative, like the speeds and frames of references in Special Relativity. This led Einstein to local differential field equations. He was unable, nevertheless, to go through the Machian requirements, that the derivations of local Physics should be when considering the Universe as a whole. According to Mach, if you look at the Cosmos, you can find absolute accelerations relative to the mass distribution in the Universe. Einstein was unable to reconcile such ideas with his gravitational theory.
In an enlightening set of papers (<ref>Mach´s Principle,edited by J. Barbour and H.Pfister,Birkhäuser,Boston ( 1995)</ref> we find clues on the Machian Program. Barbour raised five questions: (1) what did Mach want? (2) should Mach Principle deal with the entire Universe, or is it a cosmic derivation of local inertial frames of reference? (3) was there a second Mach's Principle for the relativity of time like the first one for the relativity of reference frames? (4) is the metric tensor, as well as the local inertial frames of reference, determined by local matter, or by the global distribution of matter around the Universe? (5) after a letter dated 2 February 1954, written by Albert Einstein to Felix Pirani, saying that Einstein renounces to the Mach's Principle at all, is there any significance in such principle?
