You think that "inertia" is a "new idea"? You'll probably not find much
Aether or Phlogiston either.

Cliff:

And just how relevant do you think Aristotle's comments are? Do you
have an Aristotle and Nun fetish?

Nope. But you seem to <G>.

Like I said in my other post, we've covered this ground for years and
you have yet to produce any credible physics sites that agree with you
that inertia doesn't exist,

I don't need to. You are confused and proud to remain so it
seems.
I don't need an authority such as Aristote, Plato or a pack of nuns.

or that a stationary object has anything
other than non-zero momentum in the reference frame considered.

You still cannot tell a scalar from a vector.

When you do find some credible evidence, please get back to me.

You don't need to claim to invent causes ("inertia") when
you have no effects.
This seems pretty simple.
And masses always have momentum vectors in ALL referance
frames. One referance frame is just another plus a vector operation
in this context and you cannot add a vector to a scalar. Hence
all momentum is always a vector quantity, even if it's magnitude
in *one* referance frame may have a scalar zero magnitude. It's
still a specific vector quantity. And all referance frames exist at the
same time.
After all, it's still the same mass and the same 3D space.
This also seems pretty simple (unless you've had nun problems
I guess).

This is about Physics & mass.
Not about a messy mass, a mass of charging purple unicorns,
a Catholic mass full of nuns, a lint of mass, a mass of Purple, or
any of the other forms of the use of the noise "mass" that are used
at times for other purposes which are about other things & concepts,
not about Physics & mass.
Does that help any?

Mass = mass. Momentum=momentum=m*v (per
Classical Mechanics, a branch of Physics & Engineering),
Energy=energy=(1/2)*m*v^2 (Classical & Newton again)
E=m*v^2 per Einstein, but mass is mass in all of them (neglecting
certain bits of Modern Physics ala Einstein). Even there it's the
same mass, Newton was just a bit off it seems <G>.

Go reread my posts of Saturday/Sunday <G>. Several times. Slowly.
