Inertial motion

Persistence of motion

  1. Is inertial motion persistence of motion? Is it tendency to keep moving?
  2. It seems just the opposite. Inertial motion always diminishes. In this world there is no place without friction. If there is no friction then the motion becomes curved and closed.
  3. Bodies do not have an innate tendency to maintain its motion or rest.
  4. There is no state of rest in this world.
  5. Bodies have tendency not to continue their motion
  6. But do not go towards rest, there is no rest.
  7. So what happens then?
  8. Even the earth slows down as far as I know. This must be rotation.
  9. There is change of motion there is no lack of motion
  10. Motion must change constantly
  11. Newton’s “law” of inertia is absurdly silly and childish attemp to justify his forceful explanation of orbits.
  12. What is resistance to change? Why would inert bodies resist change?
  13. Is inertia a property of matter? This is a very old question and as usual Newton suffocates the subject in his application of layers and layer of sophistry
  14. Bodies left on their own reduce their speed, they don’t continue on straight lines forever.
  15. There is no forever in this world and especially not in scientific explanations
