About this listen

Welcome to The External Force Podcast — Where ideas gain momentum!

In this debut episode, we explore a rule that quietly governs your coffee spills, car rides, and even your morning motivation. We call it The Stay-Still-and-Keep-Going Rule — known in science as inertia, but explained here with stories, games, and laughs anyone can enjoy.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why objects — and people — love to stay in their comfort zone.
  • The reason you lurch forward when a car suddenly stops.
  • Two fun and easy science games you can try at home: the Coin Toss Challenge and Keep the Ball Rolling.
  • How understanding this rule can help you improve safety, productivity, and even personal habits.

Whether you're a curious learner, a teacher looking for creative ways to explain science, or just someone who enjoys playful learning — this episode is for you.
