<div>Hello Tom,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Difficult to understand what you mean by “<span face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New';" style="font-family: 'Courier New';">Inertia
is an illusion, there isno such thing, therefore there is no "inertial mass",
just mass”. It looks like a confusion between ‘inertial mass’ and ‘inertial
force’.</span></div>

<div><span face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New';" style="font-family: 'Courier New';">I guess we agree there is no “active” inertial
force. Inertial force is the result, the sum, of the other forces, it is the
effect. </span></div>
<div><span face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New';" style="font-family: 'Courier New';">For example, on the equation </span></div>
<div><span face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New';" style="font-family: 'Courier New';">F(inertia) = F(gravitation)</span></div>
<div><span face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New';" style="font-family: 'Courier New';">M(i) * a = M(g) * g</span></div>
<div><span face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New';" style="font-family: 'Courier New';">F(gravitation) is the cause</span></div>
<div><span face="Courier New" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Courier New';" style="font-family: 'Courier New';">F(inertia) is the effect</span></div>

you tell me where exactly you disagree ?</span></div>
