Jerry Neumann • Disruption Is Not a Strategy
The important take-away from this entire discussion is that a spinning object gives you both firm guidance to keep you pointed in an intended direction (gyroscope effect), and great power and momentum to get you there (flywheel effect).

we need to establish a countervailing inertia of equal force,

Not only do the spinning wheels retain direction toward a target, but a spinning wheel also stores great energy or power

inertia: if a particle is moving it keeps on going in the same direction unless forces act upon it.

This is called the gyroscope effect; perhaps you have seen the small toy gyroscopes that you can balance on a tiny point—even if that point is sitting off center? It maintains its balance due to the rapidly spinning wheel inside it. Likewise, spinning toy tops do not topple. This is all due to the stability-inducing power of spinning wheels.

“Inertia is the stubborn resistance of the universe to change. It’s the reason why objects at rest tend to stay at rest and objects in motion tend to stay in motion. You can think of inertia as the guardian of the status quo.
At its core, inertia is a property of mass. The more massive an object is, the more it resists changes to its state of motion
