This article is dedicated to the memory of Dennis Sciama. It revisits a series of issues to which he devoted much time and effort, regarding the relationship between local physics and the large scale structure of the universe - in particular, Olber's paradox, Mach's principle, and the various arrows of time. Thus the focus is various ways in which local physics is influenced by the universe itself.

Adding a retarded, source-only selection rule to scalar-tensor gravity makes the scalar that sets inertial mass track the matter inside the Hubble horizon, while preserving the equivalence principle for structureless bodies.
