“if i have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”
isaac newton (1687)
force frames inertia in gravity’s well
frame the laws
first: force is zero, velocity is constant
second: force equals mass times acceleration
third: force action equals force reaction
with these simple axioms, the universe was explained
at least until albert explained it better
gravity grips us
impulse rips us
inertia trips us
entropy strips us
consider
forces are always at work
whether they be the flip of a coin
whether they be the crash of a car
whether they be the beat of a wing
whether they be the strong or the weak
whether they be the random nature of nature
whether they be sets | givens | variables
seek symmetry and simplicity
so
understand your frame
understand your place
understand your odds
understand it ends
in heat death and the eternal return
on a long enough timeline all things tend to zero
