Inertia, according to Newton's 1st law of motion, is simply this :
"An object that is not subject to any outside forces moves at a constant volocity, covering equal distances in equal times along a straight-line path."
In other words, inertia means a body in motion tends to remain in motion, a body at rest tends to remain at rest.
In this case, Body = me. Motion = Bala-ing. Unfortunately, the Body is now at rest. The even more unfortunate thing is that due to the massive body size and large friction (I am hairy you see), the body has a surprisingly huge inertia.
It's gonna need constant force from Jedi to push it into motion and to keep it IN motion.Labels: musings, School
