How is it that the moon's atom nearest the Earth accelerates toward the center of the moon when the atom is not actually moving in this sense? It is attracted to the center so to speak, but still locked in place for the most part. Myself I am not suggesting this concept you are referring to.
I agree with your first two points, and appreciate your response. Of course it is just a thought experiment of mine and not something I am pursuing professionally. From a logical perspective I have to disagree with your third point though. If a theory has no evidence, the possiblity of it...
Well, it seems as though the jury is out for many people on what is actually causing inertia. I certainly don't know for a fact what that is. I simply would like to be pointed out what is absolutely not possible about my question on the topic. If a person cannot do so succinctly I have to...
Some people argue that inertia is a result of particle interactions with the Higgs Field, which I thought was theorized after both Classical Mechanics and General Relativity. This does not seem to be in line with your response. Care to comment?
I certainly don't have the expertise or talent to outdo Newton. But it is not that I think that things should be asymmetric, I am trying to understand how it is that they are not. What is the nature of this relationship that makes it as such?
What is the cause for things being completely symmetric between the two objects instead of an action and a reaction? This is still the crux of my question.
Fair enough, HOW is it that the opposite forces are equal, and not another ratio-relationship? I think you are misreading my usage of why, or perhaps I should use the word how, that really seems like a semantic issue. Regardless, how is it an object does not push back with half or a third the...
Answering that it works because it works does not seem to address the why of my question. There is a why behind all things and I do not see that answered.
