Out of Newton's laws, his first is not only the hardest for people to remember from school but also the subtlest. However, at a first glance it can seem almost redundant if not nonsensical, to physicists, it's often thought of as a special use case of Newton's Second Law which appears mathematically more fundamental. In this piece Daniel Hoek examines the First Law and shows how our collective misunderstanding of it seems to have stemmed from an unfortunate mistranslation.
