Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."
It is the natural tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion. This tendency, is aptly named inertia.
Inertia = the resistance an object has to change in the state of motion
Contrary to popular belief, forces are not needed to keep an object in motion. Forces are what put objects in motion to rest.
This world we live in is filed with friction. Everything that moves is met with an opposig force that tries to slow it down. Everything accellerates and decelerates thanks to the existence of forces.
Forces exist in many forms. There are contact forces such as friction, heat electricity and kinetic forces as such. These forces are obvious to sight and only transfer directly from one subject to the next upon contact.
Then there are the stranger and more perplexing invisible forces of nature. An example of which is gravity and magnetism.
All of these forces, pushing and pulling against the constant inertia of existing matter, are much like the lords of motion and our reality itself.
These forces are the ties of fate that binds us together. These forces are what pulls us apart. They are the commanders of change. They are what brings the world to life, as well as the ones who kill it.
These forces have been around since the beginning of time. Everchanging hands, ever moving and never ending. Power and energy in this universe, like matter, can neither be created nor destroyed. Merely transferred from one source to the next.
Such is the case, since the Big Bang, and as such the case will be still till he Big Crunch. The universe, forever recycling through its endless cycles of movements.
Intricate indeed is this giant clockwork realm that God has made for us. Marvel at it.
