WHAT CAUSES INERTIA?

      Moving object influence the expansion of space. First the objects resist change in their state of
motion. This resistance is due to interaction of space with mass and not due to action at distance of
masses out there in the universe. The energy used up to overcome this resistance is used up in
increasing the mass of the object.

      Once an object is set in motion the expansion of space in front of the object slows producing slowing
of time. While behind the moving object the expansion of space increases producing a faster time.
These are local affects which create a time differential between the front and behind the object. The time
differential then perpetuates the motion. The space itself resists motion and then perpetuates motion.
This is inertia.

      This phenomenon occurs at atomic level so as to explain circular motion as well. This is why when
an object is pushed space resists motion in the beginning but once motion is set up then “time
differential” perpetuates motion. The motion produced is a balance between inertia (resistance offered by
space) and time differential. A given time differential sustains motion but does not produce acceleration.
This also suggests that motion can only be produced in an expanding universe as only in an expanding
space the expansion will slow in front of the moving object and increase behind it.

      The surface of water curves in a bucket which is swung in a circular motion. The common
explanation for this is that if the bucket was stationary and the universe was rotating then same effect will
be produced. This explanation of the universe out there having an instant effect (
Mach's Principle) is
very similar to explanation given to explain the twin paradox or inertia. It is far simpler to accept that
space affects motion locally as explained above. After all we do accept other properties of space that it
curves warps and expands etc.

      Expanding space is the cause of time and motion.   Space is responsible for the motion of photon as
well as larger masses. This explains how huge masses of planets stars and galaxies effortlessly pass
through space.
