Inertia
Don’t wat to. Alright, here we go. Writing this is embarrassing. A trip to palestine, the West bank; Gaza would be best. It all seemed to fit and be a good plan. The reports on the Israeli attack on Gaza were shocking. The pointlessness of it, the feeling of powerlessness about it, caused a temporary involvement. Not with the people, but with the apathy concerned, the apathy of one’s personal situation. Commitment is an exercise against intertia. Art has insprirations as one of the social players and as a medium of research to bring about changes, among others by a method of critical reflection. This aspiration is based on a feeling of involvement, but what is the range of such a critical attitude?Visual artist Jack Segbars navigates in his visits to palestine between involvement and scepsis. The questions this raises are: what are the possibilities of artistic commitment? And in a general sense: how does the aesthetic relate to reality?Text and idea: Jack SegbarsText editing: Carinda StrangioTranslation: Willem GroenewegenPhotography: Jack Segbars Graphic design: Remco van Bladel i. c. w.

Non–Stop Inertia
In our culture of short-term work, mobile communications an rolling media it seems we are always on the move; but are w really getting anywhere?Non-Stop Inertia argues that this appearance of restless activity conceals and indeed maintains a deep paralysis of thought and action, and that rather than being unquestionable or inevitable, the environment of personal flexibility and perpetual crisis which we now inhabit is ideologically constructed.Written from inside this system of precarious employment and debt-driven subjectivity, illustrating its arguments with actual examples and using theory to make connections and unlock meanings, the book shows how in our constant anxious pursuit of work and leisure we are running on the spot against a scrolling CGI backdrop.As performative labourers full-time jobseekers, social networkers and consumer-citizens, we are so preoccupied by the business of 'being ourselves' that our real identities are forgotten and our dreams of resistance buried.

Existential Inertia and Classical Theistic Proofs
This book critically assesses arguments for the existence of the God of classical theism, develops an innovative account of objects’ persistence, and defends new arguments against classical theism.The authors engage the following classical theistic proofs: Aquinas’s First Way, Aquinas’s De Ente argument, and Feser’s Aristotelian, Neo-Platonic, Augustinian, Thomistic, and Rationalist proofs. The authors also provide the first systematic treatment of the ‘existential inertia thesis’. By connecting the thesis to relativity theory and recent developments in the philosophy of physics, and by developing a variety of novel existential-inertia-friendly explanations of persistence, they mount a formidable new case against classical theistic proofs.Finally, they defend new arguments against classical theism based on abstract objects and changing divine knowledge.The text appeals to students, researchers, and others interested in classical theistic proofs, the existence and nature of God, and the ultimate explanations of persistence, change, and contingency.

What is inertia?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. This means that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, making it harder to change its motion.
-
What is the concept of inertia force and inertia moment?
Inertia force is a fictitious force that appears in a non-inertial reference frame to account for the acceleration of an object. It is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force causing the acceleration. Inertia moment, on the other hand, is the tendency of a rotating body to resist changes in its rotational motion. It is similar to inertia force but applies to rotational motion instead of linear motion. Both concepts are important in understanding the behavior of objects in motion.

What is the concept of inertia force and moment of inertia?
Inertia force is a fictitious force that appears in a non-inertial reference frame to account for the acceleration of an object. It is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the acceleration of the object. Moment of inertia, on the other hand, is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion. It depends on the mass distribution of the object and is analogous to mass in linear motion. Both concepts are important in understanding the behavior of objects in motion, whether linear or rotational.

How does inertia behave?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. This means that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. Inertia also causes objects to resist changes in their direction or speed, making it necessary to apply force to change their motion. This behavior is described by Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object will remain in its current state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Inertia : Purposeful Inefficiencies in Financial Markets
Financial professionals are paid as if they were capable of “beating the market” on a regular basis.In fact, active fund managers routinely underperform low-cost index funds, and financial analysts frequently produce inaccurate stock recommendations—and many receive large fees even when their clients are losing money.Why do financial intermediaries still persist in the investing world despite this track record?Economic theory, obsessed with notions of market efficiency, has no good answer. This book demonstrates how long-standing social relationships within the investing world contribute to a state of inertia, which prevents substantive change to the status quo.In financial markets—as in many other settings—social groups persist through habit, routine, and path dependency.Financial intermediaries, for their part, use their positions to maintain and reproduce a state of affairs from which they benefit.Although financial professionals portray their world as one of dynamism and continuous innovation, in reality a strategic and purposeful inertia often prevails.An incisive sociological analysis of the communities that constitute financial markets, Inertia offers new insight into the social structures and dynamics that shape economic action.

Restoring Heritage Grains : The Culture, Biodiversity, Resilience, and Cuisine of Ancient Wheats
Including recipes for baking with EinkornWheat is the most widely grown crop on our planet, yet industrial breeders have transformed this ancient staff of life into a commodity of yield and profit—witness the increase in gluten intolerance and 'wheat belly’. Modern wheat depends on synthetic fertilizer and herbicides that damage our health, land, water, and environment.Fortunately, heritage ‘landrace' wheats that evolved over millennia in the organic fields of traditional farms do not need bio-chemical intervention to yield bountifully, are gluten-safe, have rich flavor and high nutrition.Yet the robust, majestic wheats that nourished our ancestors are on the verge of extinction. In Restoring Heritage Grains, author Eli Rogosa of the Heritage Grain Conservancy, invites readers to restore forgotten wheats such as delicious gluten-safe einkorn that nourished the first Neolithic farmers, emmer—the grain of ancient Israel, Egypt, and Rome that is perfect for pasta and flatbreads, rare durums that are drought-tolerant and high in protein, and many more little known wheat species, each of which have a lineage intertwined with the human species and that taste better than any modern wheat. Restoring Heritage Grains combines the history of grain growing and society, in-depth practical advice on landrace wheat husbandry, wheat folk traditions and mythology, and guidelines for the Neolithic diet with traditional recipes for rustic bread, pastry and beer.Discover the ancient grains that may be one of the best solutions to hunger today, and provide resilience for our future.

What are examples of inertia?
Examples of inertia include a stationary object remaining at rest until a force is applied to it, a moving object continuing in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by a force, and a spinning top maintaining its rotational motion unless an external force is applied to change its direction. Inertia is also evident in the difficulty of starting or stopping a moving object, such as a car or a train, due to the resistance of the object to changes in its state of motion.
-
What is inertia in physics?
In physics, inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. This means that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. Inertia is a fundamental property of matter and is described by Newton's First Law of Motion.
-
Is there inertia in space?
Yes, there is inertia in space. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, whether that motion is at rest or in constant motion. In space, objects still possess mass and therefore still exhibit inertia. This means that objects in space will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force, in accordance with Newton's first law of motion.
-
What is the inertia principle?
The inertia principle, also known as Newton's first law of motion, states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force. In other words, an object will not change its state of motion unless a force is applied to it. This principle is fundamental to our understanding of how objects move and interact with each other in the physical world.
