"There are few absolutes".

Rubbish.

Cliff:

LOL Name five. Heck, you don't even know for a 100% absolute
certainty that you and your reality are anything more than a solipsist
nightmare.

Is that one of the Lint's "absolutes"?
Has your bowling ball eaten your carpet yet?
Did the nuns give back the money?

Cliff:

Heh, so you can't name even 5 absolute certainties? I already gave you
one in my post to Ivan, so all you have to name is 4, or however many
you can to support your position.

You are indeed free to enumerate what the lint sez are certain
absolute uncertainties (with full context) <G>.

Cliff:

That's strange, I haven't yet heard even ONE example from you of an
absolute certainty. What seems to be the problem? You sounded so sure
that there were more than a "few" absolutes.




Found that peck of "inertia" yet?
Tell us again what it's supposed to be per the lint ...

Inertia is not measured directly; it is not said that a body has so many
units of inertia. We do say that a body has mass, and mass is the
quantitative measure of the amount of inertia the body has; thus, mass
measures inertia. Inertia is that property of mass that resists (or
opposes) change in a motion state.

Definition: Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist any attempt
to change its state of motion. Mass is the force required per unit of
acceleration produced and is a measure of inertia.

Inertia is the natural tendency of an object to maintain state of rest
or to remain in uniform motion in a straight line. It is the fundamental
property of matter where an object opposes being accelerated or
decelerated. Newton related concept of inertia to mass. Initially, he
called mass a quantity of matter, but later redefined it as the measure
of inertia. A more massive object has more inertia i.e., more resistance
to any change in its state of motion than a less massive object.

mass

in physics, quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of
all matter.

Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain in constant velocity
motion. Mass is a measure of inertia.
