If you want to change things in a significant way, LOOK where
everybody else is NOT LOOKING. Contrary investing, ''be
yourself'', The Gap, look in the corners and in the holes:
Here's today's heavy-headed example from me:
O_O #blurredlines in #physics: #Inertia. Inertia is the tendancy
for an object to keep doing whatever its doing unless an outside
force acts on it. Think: gamers - they'll keep playing unless an
outside force that's more powerful acts on it.
(parents/wife/husband/kids say ''ENOUGH WITH THE GAME!'') - or
having to pay bills. #force Well... I just learned this: Modern
physicists use it that it means a ''basic law'' - to say ''Well,
that's just how things are''. The way matter works. BUT that's
not how Newton originally intended it: He saw it as an internal
*force*, inside of everything. Modern physicists see it as both
an internal force *and* the EXTERNAL results of the force - one
and the same. Blurred line. But - what happens INSIDE of
something and what it DOES, while they may look the same, *are*
different. The gamers don't stop playing because of some basic
principle of matter. They don't stop playing because they're
busy DOING SOMETHING that won't stop unless an outside force
acts on them.
''Just accept it''. Hah.
Not something I'd expect from science. Shame shame.
Newton was right 350 years ago and we're totally not looking at
it because it's confusing and too hard.
Wikipedia, '' As no alternate mechanism has been readily
accepted, and it is now generally accepted that there may not be
one which we can know, the term ''inertia'' has come to mean
simply the phenomenon itself, rather than any inherent
mechanism. ''
I'm gonna look down this rabbit hole and see what's hiding down
there. Might be a treasure in there. *somebody* else must be
looking down the hole too. I just have to find.
