Yes it is, let me give you an example. When I see one of the things in your picture I usually find myself accelerating away from it at high speed without any physical force acting on me.

I'm pretty sure there is some force acting there

lmao

a=F/m
so if F=0, the only way to accelerate (mathematically speaking) is if your m=0, too. Though there is no way of telling how you would actually accelerate.

gravity

inb4 'hurr durr gravity is a force'

gravity is a field. weight is a force

Fuck this place

well, no mass -> photons -> speed of light
>>
>>8069182
No acceleration though, as far as Im aware. Im afraid that theformula does after all only apply to massive objects...
>>
>>8069159
Well, it is. Matter attracts matter right? Keyword : attracts
>>
>>8068941
No. You would not feel OK.
>>
Light doesn't accelerate, you tards.

It accelerates when it enters and leaves a medium.
