 Dear Mr. PING,
 
  First of all it is a myth that  an object CAN COMPLETELY  
 MAINTAIN ITS STATUS QUO.  You cannot show me an example of an object 
 be it a particle, a person, a flying arrow, a dinosaur, a planet,
 a galaxy which completely maintains its status quo.  (A1)  says:

(Al)    THE TENDENCY OF MAINTAINING THE STATUS QUO, REACTION TO
     PROVOCATION AND THE TENDENCY OF MAINTAINING AGAIN A STATUS QUO.  
     
The emphasis in (A1) is on  "THE TENDENCY, THE TENDENCY, THE TENDENCY"
    
   There is no particle which continues its motion with no expenditure
of energy by someone.  If in your Physics courses they say that there
is such a thing it is the result of a fanatic indoctrination.
  
   But why TIME even started to move? Why didn't you ask me that
question to begin with. I will answer this and  your question.

    MY ANSWERS:     I was trying to maintain my status quo and 
stay still and silent.  That annoyed and provoked you. My tendency
of maintaining my status quo provoked you so much so that you gave me 
an ultimatum "Move out of sci.physics". However, I am not as weak as TIME    
is and you are not as powerful as Cosmos is and I may not totally succumb 
to your ultimatum.


   The TIME  (like I) tried to stay still .  That annoyed and provoked
the Cosmos.  The Cosmos (like you) gave ultimatum and moved TIME forward.
Now (LISTEN CAREFULLY, THIS THE CRUCIAL POINT), now, the Cosmos wants
to maintain its status quo and wants to see that TIME (according to
Cosmos' ultimatum) keeps on moving.  But for that - Cosmos pays, it
supplies energy which is dissipated irretrievably.


   Now, THE CRUCIAL CONCLUSION:  You see that it is the POWERFUL ONE
who succeeds to maintain its status quo - but again not completely.
Since  for trying to maintain its status quo, the powerful  one pays
by irretrievably losing some energy and therefore is left with less
and less energy and thus does not succeed to maintain completely its 
status quo.

   With best wishes and regards,         
                                         Alexander ABIAN

P.S. will be interested in your comments!

    TIME HAS INERTIA  and some energy is lost to move Time forward  
  E = mcc  (Einstein)    must be replaced by    E = m(0) exp(-At) (Abian)
