Inertia
Inertia is a phenomenon commonly said to be a property of matter. This is a short sighted view of inertia as it takes only the object into account and ignores the rest of the universe.
Inertia is a property of the universe that we experience through matter whereby objects at rest tend to remain at rest and objects in motion tend to remain in motion at the same speed and direction until accelerated by some force.
When someone describes inertia as a property of matter, he is defining the realm of influence, of the cause of inertia, as the volume and spatial location that is occupied by any individual object. In his shortsightedness, this man attempts to confine a universal phenomenon within the confines of finite objects.
Inertia occurs because of the dynamic fabric of the universe acting upon all objects from all directions.
