You do understand why some people (you) have the idea that for something to move there needs to be a force exerted unto it? It is because that holds true for stuff on earth were due to drag constant velocity means something is constantly giving energy. P = F*u.

This is such a basic component of the human experience. Nowhere on earth you can push something and it will keep going forever.

It is proven tho, that when no force is exerted the object will remain either stationary or moving at a constant speed.

Physics says that moving at a constant speed is the same as being stationary. This is the simplest assumption we can make.

There is no reason for us to say, for example, that there are some particles that keep on pushing the object, if we accept that constant speed is the same thing as being stationary.

But because you obviously didn't finish highschool, it is natural to believe that movement = force/energy, because that's what we know from our everyday experience.

We both agree that when there is no drag or friction stuff will move forever. Only difference between everyone that knows basic physics and you is that educated people accept that the simplest explanation must be constant speed=being still, while you have to make up convoluted and unnecessary explanations in order to fit a fundamental law of nature into your limited experience.

I am not insulting you because you don't know this. Even tho this is basic.

I think you are a basedass because while it is obvious you have never stepped in a physics class, you somehow think that you can asnwer OP question. The way you respond to that anon that knows what's he talking about proves you don't know shit.

>Muh laws need to conform to the human everyday experience.

The existence of magnets proves that wrong kek.

I hate /sci/ so much. Wholeass physics thread and there is only one anon

that knows physics.

>relativistic bullshit
yeah sure smartass
