No, if what you say was true, a rocket ship would not stop if it's rocket boosters were turned of, this is not the case.

I did a bad job of explaining why 'coasting' can't work, the larger an object is, the stronger it's higgs field is, because it's higgs field curves more, but the Higgs Field doens't want to stay curved, and it constantly pushes back, it's this 'uncurving' action that keeps the Earth round, and keeps the core of the Earth condensed.
The Higgs Field wanting to uncurve is what causes gravity itself, and the faster a spacecraft moves the more mass it acquires, therefore the stronger it's Higgs Field, ergo the stronger it's propulsion needs to be.

I suppose we all thought that, in one way or another"
