For the record: All objects with mass have inertia.
A superb discussion of the quantum nature of the cosmos is presented by the professional astronomer Halton Arp in his book "Seeing Red". This book addresses the nature of "the expanding universe" in a surprising way: The apparent Hubble Red shift is not due to stars moving away from us with the expansion of space; the Red shift is due to the formation of matter, in conjunction with certain types of large galaxies, as light slows down to become matter in quantum steps. This addresses the problem of entropy by demonstrating that there exists a mechanism that eventually converts the light radiated by stars back into matter as proto-galaxies in a huge cosmological recycling loop.
In my opinion the research and findings presented in "Seeing Red" are the closest anyone has yet come to a practical (empirical data supported) bridge between quantum physics and general relativity.
Quantum physics usually deals with the very small sub-atomic "particles" characterized by non-linear behavior. General Relativity deals with the large scale curvature of space-time and matter. Einstein spent much of his life attempting to reconcile these two bodies of knowledge - he failed.

Although Halton Arp's work is by no means complete it does provide a theoretical interpretation of data collected by scientists over decades of research in the astrophysics community.
What interests me about Arp's work is the potential for new engineering applications at the human scale, ranging from about 1/100th inch to tens of feet, that is based on the possibility that certain quantum physical behaviors can and do manifest in unpredictable ways in devices that are easy to build at the human scale; requiring a minimum of high tech high precision engineering.
Arp's work shows conclusively that quantum mechanical behavior manifests at cosmological scales - and not just exclusively at the sub-atomic level.
Buckminster Fuller, the designer of the Geodesic Dome, shows in his works Synergetics 1 & 2, how he was able to calculate the exact number of ways atomic structures can bond to form molecules. He also shows that computers can be used to calculate quantum effects from the sub-atomic scale, through the molecular scale, to the planetary and cosmological scales. Fuller's work has found applications in the field of materials science and engineering (e.g. Bucky Balls and certain structural designs). Unfortunately "the language of Synergetics" that Fuller created is difficult to understand because some of his assumptions about the fundamental topology of the universe differ from mainstream scientific understanding.
At MT Enterprises I have studied the implications of Synergetics, Arp's research, and the works of Arthur Young, the designer of the Bell helicopter, who's works include: The Geometry of Meaning and The Reflexive Universe. Over the past 16 years of research I have created three preliminary designs, and one prototype, that promise to improve energy efficiency by a factor of 10 to 20 depending on the application. These designs await a minimum of funding to become reality.
