Terraforming Mars has captured the imagination of scientists, engineers, and space enthusiasts alike. Traditional proposals involve timescales of centuries and even millennia to revitalize Mars. In this discussion, let's explore various approaches with a special focus on methods that could accelerate the process. One such approach, explained in my latest preprint involves creating dayside magnetic reconnection events at the Mars-Sun L1 point to speed up atmospheric building and surface warming. I would love to hear your feedback and discuss other promising techniques for rapidly transforming Mars. Keep in mind that when I use the word 'terraforming,' I do not necessarily mean that we could walk around outside without suits, but rather kickstart the planet by building its atmosphere, partially melting the ice caps, heating the surface, raising water from the bedrock, etc., and initiating noticeable and significant progress. Let’s discuss diverse ideas and strategies that could make Mars a home for future generations faster than previously imagined.

Thank you, J.M! Given the slow nature of microbial processes, what role do you think they could play in accelerating the terraforming process? It sounds like you’re suggesting biological processes can work in conjunction with engineering approaches… Interesting! J.M Lahiru Kavinda

Answer
Many postmodern physicists think the "principle of equivalence" (i.e. inertial mass and gravitational mass are equal) is a freshness introduced by A. Einstein in General Relativity.
In actuality freshnesses introduced by Einstein in GR are two: the principle of covariance and an imaginary tensor mathematical model in order to represent the elementary interval of spacetime. In fact the principle of equivalence was already present in classical physics by Newton's definition of mass through the forced action. Newton proved a body subject to a force acquires an acceleration and the concept of mass is the constant that connects the force with the acceleration (m=F/a). This concept of mass is independent of the type of force and consequently it is valid for any type of force. When we consider the gravitational force we call gravitational mass and when we consider a generic force we call inertial mass and the two masses are the same thing. The inertial mass is also the property of body when it is in an inertial state from which the term of "inertial mass" that defines an intrinsic property of body.
Soldano's paper says the Lageos Satellite "has clearly demonstrated, firstly, the existence of an unexpected acceleration (Smith and Dunn 1981). This acceleration results in a secular decrease in the satellite's semidiameter (initially 1.227x10^9cm) of 1.1mm per day. Secondly, accurate fitting of omega (angular speed) as a function of time has clearly identified an acceleration of the angular speed related to the time derivative of the Earth's second gravitational harmonic coefficient (Yoder et al. 1983; Rubincam 1984; Kauka 1983)". Soldano says then many explanations, in order to clarify the two effects, have been proposed with no success. The paper suggests then both effects are due to the same cause, i.e. "a small but very important nonequivalence in gravitational binding of the Earth". This explanation is the basis of "the Nonequivalence Model".
I think there is no need to suppose a small difference between gravitational mass and inertial mass (in the paper (mg-mi)/mg =-5.05x10^-12), but the two effects are explainable with the fact that if there is an unexpected acceleration there is also an unexpected force and the connection between the two quantities is given always by the same mass.
