The Epicurus Jostler

I think at some point in the Future Modern Ancient Greeks the main character is going to have to acquire a spaceship. At the shop he's going to encounter all different types of craft that move on different principles.

One of the principles is going to be the 'jostling' motion. There will be a couple of different types of jostlers.

1) Epicurus' jostler - falling through space is the simplest motion so this craft will simple fall through space. very energy efficient. falling is eternal so it just goes and goes, very low maintenance. navigation is a bit, well, let's just say it is the perfect craft for the adventurer. It does have the swerve feature though...

I need to study the pre-socratics and their ideas on motion. Explore their ideas - create machines based on the paradoxes they create and then voice them out in the main character's interaction with the sellers of the crafts, which need to be based on used car dealers.
