The Dynamics of Inertia: A Frugal Model of Motion in the Universe

Authors/Creators

Description

This paper proposes a systems-based alternative to conventional models through observing variability, inertial reference frames, and scalability of forces through the lens of chaos dynamics and systems analysis. It challenges gravity as a force, focusing on scale, inertia, and velocity to explain local phenomena like tides and the Coriolis force. Using principles of chaos theory and systems analysis, the model presents testable predictions that clarify and improve our understanding of motion. The theory further critiques the predictability of gravity on the behavior of large scale phenomena including planetary formation and the Big Bang.  It advocates for falsifiability through observation of stellar distribution in nebulae, inertial resistance on rotating bodies, and relative axial tilts on gyroscopically-stabilized spheres. This unified framework aims to simplify and clarify cosmic behavior without invoking unobservable forces, positioning itself as a paradigm shift in astrophysical reasoning.
