Motion and Gravity
The moons revolve around their planet, the planets revolve around their sun, and the suns revolve around the center of their galaxies in perfect equilibrium. Such an equilibrium is dynamic in the sense that it continually adjusts to changing conditions. This describes the motion of the heavenly bodies in free space.
In this free space, an object with infinite mass shall be fixed in its location because its inertia is infinite. Another object with lesser mass shall have lesser inertia, and it will have motion relative to the first object. It may seem that the first object also has motion relative to the second object but that would be an illusion. We thus have a measure of absolute motion in terms of inertia.
The most massive body with maximum inertia shall be at the center of the galaxy. We recognize that as a black hole. All other bodies in the galaxy are in an equilibrium of motion relative to this black hole according to their mass or inertia. Their position in space at any instant is determined by this equilibrium. We recognize this equilibrium as GRAVITY.
In general, there is a balance among motion and inertia of a system of bodies. Near infinite inertia will correspond to near zero motion. Near zero inertia shall correspond to near infinite motion. The lesser is the inertia, the greater is the motion. As the inertia of a body lessens its motion increases. Light has very large motion but it is still finite. That means that, though it is extremely small, light still has some measure of inertia or consistency. The presence of light, or electromagnetic energy, shall also contribute to the dynamic configuration of the overall gravity.
