According to Newtons second law, acceleration occurs when the combined external force on an object is not zero. However, there are phenomena in nature that acceleration can be achieved without external forces. For example, radial acceleration based on negative masses - where positive and negative masses interact with each other and continue to accelerate in the same direction; or self-acceleration based on wave packet interference, which is essentially a dispersion effect with an endogenous grav
