Re: centrifugal force



I think it needs this over-emphasis: In the Newtonian scheme the
centrifugal and coriolis effects are not the result of any non-inertial
properties in the (absolute) motion of the observed object - they are
completely the result of the non-inertial properties of the observer's
motion. They are not observed by an inertial observer - they "taint" ALL
the observations of the rotating observer.
