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.
I haven't checked the physics books as you suggested. Are you sure the above quote is correct ??

Hi Greg,
I must admit that my own family who have read the book have difficulty with this concept. Difficult to explain in concise form but let me try. The Cosma is a completely lossless environment because there is simply no
mechanism for losses to incur . Friction or drag would build up heat, but heat is frequency of impact of Zerons. Same applies to impact Zeron on Zeron. Besides which the Cosma transmits light apparently lossely over billions of light years (red-shift excepted??) If a distorted atom travels through the Cosma that's the way its going to stay. Zeron impact front and back are perfectly balanced regardless of movement through the Cosma. If it were not so there would be drag and losses. Not possible in a lossless environment. It is only in a
dynamic situation that the front/back balance is disturbed. There's no drag but suddenly there's a bunching of Zerons ahead and a thinning out behind. This process continues for as long as acceleration (a non-steady state) continues.The bunched Zerons make more impacts than the thinned out ones creating a force that resists acceleration. As soon as acceleration stops the steady state and the balance returns.
I have a stone-age book from 'varsity days that derives the properties of perfect fluids theoretically (never did understand it) but there is a much better example. (The following is a quote from my book) To show that these unusual properties and effects do not only exist in the theoretical domain of hydraulics theory, we only need to look at liquid Helium II at 2.7 degrees K. This is a most remarkable liquid, which exhibits all the properties of a perfect fluid including zero resistance to non accelerating flow etc It will flow through the finest of porous materials (apparently without resistance), has no surface tension, has an infinite specific heat, and even has the propensity, in defiance of the laws of gravity, to climb out of open containers, (a property of the fluid that has not yet been explained). Liquid Helium II at 2.7 degrees K is a real-life perfect fluid. It’s a model for the Cosma.
Thanks for the query. I appreciate queries as a means of plugging some of the holes which
must exist in such a broad-ranging theory.
Kind regards
Tedjay
