¶ Inertia
Index Entry
Inertia:
“Inertia is dynamic as sensed in the orbital course integrity of the enormous mass of the Earth going around the Sun at 60,000 m.p.h., so that the little man on board it who is also going at 60,000 m.p.h. steps around its surface pushing the Earth in the opposite direction to his walking, but so negligibly that the little man does not conceive of his Earth as movable and has invented the concept of completely inert, or ‘at rest.’ Our deceptive fixity of celestial position as a standing still in Universe is fortified by the absolute silence of travel in vacuo around the Sun.”
