Re: How Inertia Works

Quote:
.. by Tedjay ...The other way is to consider that during acceleration there is an ever increasing bunching up of Zerons ahead of the atom and a sloughing off of Zerons at the rear. This means ever more impacts at the front than at the back resulting in an overall force resisting the acceleration. We recognise this force as Inertia.
This is a neat idea Ted. I have a small critique. It may not be one at all, it may just be the way I am reading it.

The Zerons bunch up ahead of the object accelerating , and with less Zerons behind, a pressure or drag builds up in opposition to acceleration.

If they are capable of behaving the way described, why wouldn't they also cause drag with constant velocity. Any movement thru the Zerons must produce drag ??

Are you saying that objects at rest, or constant velocity, produce no drag because they are in motion at the same rate as the Zerons ?? There are many objects at different constant velocities so this cannot hold true either.

Quote:
Bodies moving through perfect fluids at constant velocity experience zero drag. Bodies accelerating through perfect fluids do experience drag.
I haven't checked the physics books as you suggested. Are you sure the above quote is correct ??

cool bananas ... greg
