Through The Solar System
a: Electromagnetic radiation ~
b: an ideal dance of male and female
What: Electromagnetic radiation is a fundamental part of the world we inhabit. Such radiation consists of 2 parts, electrical and magnetic. They both coexist in the same entity. The male female relationship has some similarities: the connection between the 2 makes life possible, a distortion of one affects the other. If they become separated they will both be destroyed or radically diminished. Thus they go together as 2.

a: Inertia ~
b: not being able to get up on Monday Morning
What: "Inertia is the tendency for a body in motion to keep moving with the same speed and same direction unless an external force is applied. Maybe, in the sleeping case, it could be considered dreaming motion and waking up a change in direction. When you begin to awaken and want to stay asleep, that could be considered as a form of inertia"
