==Abstract==

One of the enduring mystries of classical and modern physics arises from the fact that the value obtained for the gravitational-mass ratio of two particles compared in a weighing experiment is identical to the value obtained for the inertial-mass ratio of the same two particles compared in a collision experimetn (to within experimental error).&nbsp; For this reason we speak of the equivalence between inertial and gravitational mass, and tend&nbsp; to use the concepts interchangeably.&nbsp; However, whilst practitioners of science and engineering have been content to accept this equivalence as a matter of fact, there has, until recently, been no rational understanding of it.&nbsp; However, recently, Ghosh, Assis and I have each given the basis for such an understanding.
