The Inertia

Reference: Postulate Mechanics

The Inertia

INERTIA is the resistance that is felt when something is pushed. If something offers no resistance then there can be no push either. Therefore, for force to be manifested there must be inertia opposing it. Both force and inertia are the manifestation of the consistency of substance.

When the force upon an object and its inertia are in exact balance, there exists a uniform state of motion, or rest, in which there is no acceleration. The fact that the speed of light is constant means that it has inertia that is balancing any electromagnetic force acting upon it. If there is no inertia, the speed shall be infinite.

A body with infinite consistency shall have infinite inertia and it would not be displaceable from its location. We may assign it zero absolute motion. As the consistency reduces, the inertia also reduces and some displacement would become possible. This shall bring about a configuration similar to that of a rotating galaxy. We can thus show an inverse relationship between consistency and absolute motion.

When an object is accelerated to a higher speed with the application of an external force, and the external force is removed; then the inertia of the object will start acting to bring the object back to its original balanced speed. If the inertia is also reduced in the process, then the higher speed shall be maintained.

Both Force and Inertia are manifestations of consistency.

The Mass

Reference: The Book of Physics

Mass is the key property of matter, that is directly linked to its weight. Mass reflects the consistency of matter.

.

Definition of MASS

The substantialness of matter is called mass. The mass of matter allows it to be divided into very small particles. A material object, regardless of its size, can be treated mathematically as if all its mass is concentrated at a point. We call this point the “center-of-mass.”

The “center-of-mass” allows a material object to be treated as a point particle in most mathematical visualizations. This property is peculiar to matter, and it does not exist for other forms of substance, such as, energy and thought. 

In case of matter, mass represents its consistency. According to The Motion, the intrinsic motion of substance is related to its consistency. Therefore, an object has a natural motion in free space that depends on its mass. Even the slightest change in the mass changes this motion. Therefore, we observe relative motion among objects, such as the planets, due to differences in their mass.

The rest mass of an object is measured, when it is moving naturally in free space, or when it is at rest relative to the observer.

The term ‘relativistic mass’ was invented to convey the idea that it is harder to push a moving object, as you have to be moving faster than the object to push it. It is a misconception that a particle’s mass gets bigger as it speeds up.

.

Notes

The mass of an object is the total of the masses of its molecules. The mass of a molecule is the total of the masses of its atoms. The mass of an atom is the total of the masses of neutrons, protons and electrons that constitute it. Therefore, when we talk about the total mass of an object, it is the sum of the mass of all the particles that constitute that object. The mass of individual particles differ as follows:

Mass of neutron = 1.675 × 10−27 kg
Mass of proton = 1.673 × 10−27 kg 
Mass of electron = 9.109×10−31 kg

Very small differences in the mass of an object are capable of producing significant relative motion in free space. This property of mass may provide some clue to the nature of gravity.

.

Key Misconception

The key misconception in Newtonian mechanics is that an object is not seen as having a natural motion in free space as a function of its mass.

The Anomaly

Reference: Postulate Mechanics

The Anomaly

An anomaly is a violation of reality. It is characterized by

  1. Discontinuity (missing data)
  2. Inconsistency (contradictory data)
  3. Disharmony (arbitrary data).

The violation of reality appears in the form of disagreements. There are two different realities and the bridge between them is missing. There are contradictions and disharmonies. In this situation, the anomalies must be recognized, isolated and listed precisely, and then addressed one by one.

Such anomalies commonly exist in one’s observations and reasoning; but they may go as far back as being part of one’s viewpoint and even postulates. Those basic anomalies can distort one’s observation and train of logic. They come about when the postulates did not get updated to account for new sensations. In other words, the new experience did not get fully assimilated. 

Such anomalies generate aberrations in one’s perception, judgment and behavior. When a person is not responding appropriately to a situation, he is suffering from some anomaly in his thinking. This is handled by looking more closely at the inappropriateness of all his reactions according to the broad reality, and then narrowing them down to specific triggers. And then looking for possible experiences that were not fully assimilated.

When one spots the right anomaly, it resolves easily. The reality becomes clearer and one realizes what was happening.

The Misconception

Reference: Postulate Mechanics

.

The Misconception

A misconception is an erroneous idea, or a mistaken notion, such as, “the sun goes around the earth.” The deeper and broader is a misconception, the wider is its influence in the society. It appears natural because everybody appears to think that way. 

2600 years ago, Buddha discovered, “The Absolute Truth is that there is nothing absolute in the world, that everything is relative, conditioned and impermanent, and that there is no unchanging, everlasting, absolute substance like Self, Soul, or Ātman within or without.” Yet, the majority of the people in the world still believe that, even though their body will die, their soul will live forever.

Misconceptions form the subtlest layer that underlies the layers of misjudgments and engrams. As an individual becomes aware of his misconceptions and resolves them, it becomes easier for him to recognize his misjudgments and resolve them too. As he keeps on doing so, one day he may come face to face with his birth engram and discharge it. Other engrams, if they exist, may then follow.

The process of Subject Clearing examines the concepts in any subject starting from the broadest and most fundamental concepts. When this process is applied to the subject of existence the problem of beingness starts to resolve rapidly.

.

Misconception

In general, people do not realize the importance of resolving their misconceptions no matter how innocent they might appear. Many misconception are buried in the definitions that are provided to us through dictionaries.
