"Resting" is relative. Unless you're around my relatives, in which case it's inconceivable.

Isn't it "An object at rest tends to stay at rest?"

Thanked: 2591if your reference system is on the object then its not moving therefore you can't stop it. If the reference system is the Earth or sun etc then you can stop the object you just need to stop the rotation of Earth for example. Theoretically it all depends on the reference system.
