WHAT THE FUCK IS INERTIA I CANT COMPREHEND IT
HOW CAN AN OBJECT REFUSE TO MOVE
WHAT'S HOLDING IT IN PLACE

Inertia is a property of matter. Inertia is holding it in place
Austin Ward
"state of rest" is kind of a misnomer desu
it isn't forceless albeit having no velocity.
Jacob Murphy
Because all linear transformations in a vector space are also a vector space, and it is the dual of the initial one. God doesn't see a difference between a point and a point moving in a straight line.

Objects at rest tend to stay at rest.
Objects in motion tend to remain in motion.
More generally, objects resist any force trying to alter their current motion.
Exactly _why_ inertia exists isn't known.
Gravitational mass is what the Earth attracts, giving things weight.
Inertial mass ALWAYS equals the gravitational mass -- which is why everything falls at the same rate (ignore air resistance).
This equivalence has been checked to an insane number of decimal places. Einstein thought this was no coincidence and this idea is at the very core of General Relativity. Inertial mass IS gravitational mass.
Don't use good china if you ever try the stunt of yanking a tablecloth off the table while leaving all the dishes and flatware in place. It works, but it takes practice.

I don't see that as an "explanation".
I thought someone would bring up Mach's Principle or the Higgs Field.

Juan Rodriguez
Au contraire! Without that picture I'd never have figured out his question.
Anthony Kelly
muh higgs field
Julian Walker
I don't see the Higgs field as an explanation. If you actually checked the math, you'd see that you can recover a linear space from the properties of the HIggs field, whereby inertia.
Likewise with Mach's Principle, which is simply a confused way to define an affine space (which is a metric away from being a vector space).
Eli Garcia
Why does math exist?
Ryder Murphy
Youre asking the wrong question. What makes an object move?
Christopher Richardson
So what? I don't see the point
Blake Reyes
Explanation:
(great channel btw)
Ayden Kelly
When a force acts upon an object, it causes acceleration dependent on the object's mass.
The bigger the mass number, the lower the acceleration for the same applied force.
This is inertia. It's not that the object is being held in place by something, it's that an applied force is less effective the larger the object is. It takes more force to accelerate and decelerate the object, so it will """prefer""" to maintain it's current velocity.
Jayden Ward
There are physical particles blocking them. Also there is a vacuum pulling the particles into their respective places.
I made a thread about describing these concepts:

Yes
>and it is the dual of the initial one.
What is "it"?
The Dual is the transformations from the Vector Space to the Field which the Vector Space is over.
>God doesn't see a difference between a point and a point moving in a straight line.
What the fuck are you talking about?
How is this any relevant?
Jason Jenkins
He obviously meant to say that all linear functionals in a vector space etc etc
