Is it true that if an object has zero mass, and zero inertia, it would move spontaneously in any direction without an applied force?

An object with zero mass is a theoretical concept that refers to an object that has no physical substance or density. In other words, it has no weight or volume.
No, an object with zero mass cannot exist in reality. All known objects in the universe have some level of mass, even if it is very small. Objects with zero mass only exist in theories and equations used in scientific research.
Since an object with zero mass has no physical presence, it does not interact with its surroundings in any way. It does not exert any gravitational force or cause any other effects on its surroundings.
Studying objects with zero mass is important in understanding fundamental concepts in physics, such as the nature of space and time. It also plays a crucial role in certain theories, such as the theory of relativity.
An object with zero mass and an object with very small mass are fundamentally different. While an object with zero mass has no physical substance, an object with very small mass still has weight and volume, although it may be very small. Additionally, an object with very small mass can still interact with its surroundings, unlike an object with zero mass.
