What s it that keeps bodies at rest?

Is a state of rest is equivalent to a state of uniform motion?

If your worldview requires a cause for a state of uniform motion, why does
it not also require the SAME cause for a state of rest?

There are no bodies at rest in our universe except wrt to other
objects. And get you facts straight: I did not write the above which
you have attributed to me.

Because there can be no state of rest in an expanding universe except
when comparing the motions of two or more objects, and even those
objects are moving within the universe.

Gee, Tom, there were three sentences, but only one question.

Here it is in a fourth incarnation -

We know what halts an otherwise un-impeded, (walls and such), body in
motion here on earth; gravity and friction. If the same otherwise
un-impeded body in motion were placed safely far enough away from
gravity and friction, just. why. do. you. think. it. would. stop?

Inertia is not a process; it is resistance to change. Momentum is a
quantity expressing the motion and resistance of a body, and it is also
a force inherent in a body.

Your claim, "In your mental concept perhaps" is an argument even if you
think not. Your belief that objects get a free ride in space is based
on your belief that space is empty of anything that could offer
resistance to their constant velocity. It has long been thought that
the "quantum vacuum" is made up of "fields" and processes that conjure
up particles from nothing and that was the standard model until we were
able to see the effects of what we termed Dark Matter. That shifted
our knowledge out of the box we were in out into a better explanation
for the so-called fields and phantom particles. But some of the heads
in the box find it too difficult to change their minds and so they will
continue to believe in fantastical realms of fields and in the creation
of particles out of nothingness.
