Hurts’ comments about momentum being “fake” would have Sir Isaac Newton enraged. All you have to do is look up Newton’s second law, which is centered around momentum and how it is created.

Newton's Second Law is concerned with unbalanced forces. Unbalanced forces produce acceleration. The greater the unbalanced force the greater the acceleration. This law is usually written as an ...

In other words, the acceleration of an object increases if the resultant force on it increases, and decreases if the mass of the object increases.
