What is it that causes objects, bodies, and masses of material substance to
be inert, and stay where they are put?
We all know that it takes force to move them; but what is it that causes
this need to exert force on them to cause locomotion?
Lack of incentive, lack of enthusiasm, laziness, malaise, inertia.
That's it! Inertia!

You speak of inertia as if inert objects, bodies and masses of material
matter have got a mind and will of their own.

Yes, Donald, it's called Buddha Conciousness.

It sure isn't science. Do you subscribe to that religion?

No, but since this NG has taken such a turn toward the mystical of
late, I thought I would get in my mystical 2 cents worth.
Seriously, there is a theory that inertia could be caused by
electromagnetic forces arising from sea of virtual particles and force
fields. Because when an object is accelerated, it is thought to be
bathed in electromagnetic radiation from the virtual photons, and this
could be the force that pushes back when a force is applied to an
object.

No comments on the Haisch and Rueda theory of inertia?
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/materials-01b.html
From the article:
"Rueda said he would do some calculations. Some months later, he left
a message on Haisch's answering machine in the middle of the night.
When Haisch played it back the next morning he heard an excited Rueda
saying, "I think I can derive Newton's second law."
According to Rueda, photons boosted out of the quantum vacuum by an
object's acceleration would bounce off electric charges in the object.
The result is a retarding force which is proportional to the
acceleration, as in Newton's second law, which defines inertial mass
as the ratio of the force acting on an object to the acceleration
produced. Haisch and Rueda, along with their colleague Harold Puthoff
of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Austin, Texas, published
their initial work in February 1994 (Physical Review A, vol 49, p
678)."
For a mathematical treatment of the theory also see:
http://www.calphysics.org/inertiamath.html
The theory could also explain gravity, leaving GR intact while giving
a mechanism that produces the effect of warped space-time.
From the article:
"It's still highly speculative, but they think they can explain away
gravity as an effect of electromagnetic forces. Oscillating charges in
a chunk of matter affect the charged virtual particles in the vacuum.
This polarised vacuum then exerts a force on the charges in another
chunk of matter. In this rather tortuous manner the two chunks of
matter attract each other. "This might explain why gravity is so
weak," says Haisch. "One mass does not pull directly on another mass
but only through the intermediary of the vacuum."
Einstein's theory of general relativity already explains gravity
beautifully in terms of the warping of space-time by matter, so this
"geometrical" description ought to be compatible with the
quantum-vacuum picture. Haisch points out that the curvature of space
can only be inferred from the bending of the paths of light rays. But
the polarised vacuum would bend light paths, just as a piece of glass
does when light enters or leaves it.
"The warpage of space might be equivalent to a variation in the
refractive index of the vacuum," Haisch conjectures. "In this way, all
the mathematics of general relativity could stay, intact, since
space-time would look as if it were warped." And all the strange
predictions of general relativity, such as black holes and
gravitational waves, would be manifestations of this polarised vacuum.
If they can get their idea to work, Haisch and Rueda will have a
theory of quantum gravity -- the long-sought marriage of Einstein's
general relativity with quantum mechanics. It would finally allow
physicists to understand the first moments after the big bang, and the
crushing singularity at the core of a black hole."
Now this theory, while depending on effects of the quantum vacuum,
would give that connection between electromagnetism and gravity that I
know many of you feel in your guts must be there!
