Since inertia is the resistance of an object to change its motion or direction (including a state of complete rest) unless acted upon by an external force, then it would seem that the opposite of that condition would be an environment of complete mechanical randomness. Acceleration, deceleration, or change of direction within any three dimensional axis would occur unpredictably and with no obvious cause whatsoever.
Maybe a real physics master would have a better explanation.

So Awesome - The Milky Way over the Isle of Wight. I'd love to see this in person one day. It's on my bucket list.

Andrew Howard, one of the study's co-authors, enthused at a recent news conference that their 22 percent figure means that "with about 100 billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy, that's about 20 billion such planets. ... That's a few Earth-sized planets for every human being on the planet Earth."

I hope the "maintenance" is adding more fucking sweet pictures of see-through snails.
Haha, I noticed when you quoted that I said "snail see-through snail." I can talk real good I can!
Maybe they had the color cooked out of them.

If you were going to be looking at the bottom of the drawing, I'd recommend taking some butter and garlic.

Saves me the trouble of having to peer through your windows at night when I want to see you naked. Sure, it's fun, but what a hassle.
