Motion-Inertia Relationship
According to Motion and Gravity, motion increases as inertia decreases. This is visible on a cosmic scale. The reason Newton did not point to this relationship is because for changes in speeds of objects, the corresponding change in inertia is so small that it cannot be measured.
This observation adds to the Newton’s laws of motion. We may say,
When a particle of matter is accelerated, its mass decreases. The decrease in mass is proportional to the increase in its speed.
A little math for it is provided in the graphics below.
The configuration of a system of bodies in free space is determined strictly by the equilibrium among their consistency and motion, where consistency and motion are tightly related in an inverse relationship. This equilibrium is confused with the gravitational force of attraction. There is no one-way gravitational force of attraction.
A constant velocity in free space means that the acceleration of the body is exactly balanced by its inertia. Thus, it becomes possible to control motion by controlling the inertia of a body, or vice versa. This is likely to be one of the areas of future technology.
