You are standing in a field looking at the stars. Your arms are resting freely at your side, and you see that the distant stars are not moving. Now start spinning. The stars are whirling around you and your arms are pulled away from your body. Why should your arms be pulled away when the stars are whirling? Why should they be dangling freely when the stars don't move?

[Anonymous No.10377912]

Theres billions of tiny strings called gravity that go from each star to your arms. When you spin, those strings are pulled taut.

Relative to what inertial frame, an absolute time and space determined by the mass of the universe? Why is there centrifugal force when the stars are whirling, but no centrifugal force when the stars are still, why is one frame prefrenced.

[Anonymous No.10379159]

So we can say the mass of the universe gives us an absolute time and space in regards to rotation, and rotation (in the universe) is always absolute rather than relative?

[Anonymous No.10379237]

>>10379155
The stars are not part of it. The centrifugal force would exist whether the stars existed, or if you were just spinning in an empty void entirely separate from this universe. Forget about the fucking stars. There is no frame of reference needed to be defined as stationary when there is ACCELERATION involved. Acceleration need not be relative to outside refrence frames, just relative to your own reference frame at a different point in time. There is no preference in frame of reference going on here. You are thinking that spinning in a CIRCLE only involves velocity, that is false. Any change in velocity is acceleration, including changes in direction like TURNING.

The problem is why an 'absolute' rotational frame of reference seems to exist, such that an object can be considered rotating, and another devoid of rotational velocity, instead of this being a relative thing. It was a fundamental issue that Einstein saw as a serious problem.

Are you suggesting that centripetal/centrifugal force is related to space time in a similar way to gravity? Space is being altered somehow and we perceive it as a force? I guess the best way to express this would be to approximate a rotation as a sequence of movements?

i mean, for the people who are not seeing the point at all, imagine two people floating in the middle of interstellar space. Posed as if standing upright and one on top of the other so were they to spin it would be about the same axis. Now, if they have translation velocity apart from each other, neither could say, I am moving not them, or they and not I or any which inbetween. It's all relative only.
But if they have relative angular velocity wrt each other, it can be that the top person looks down and sees the bottom spinning, arms flung out, or the bottom person looks up and sees the top person spinning, (from their point of view) even though the top person's arms are not flung out and mine are, so it must be the bottom person spinning and not the top. Hence both can know the that bottom is rotating *with respect to the universe* and the top is not

i think the issue here is the fact that rotation is an arbitrary, intuitive thing. zoom in far enough and you just see a bunch of particles constantly being accelerated to change the direction of their travel. the system just happens to be set up in a way that it's very stable and loses very little energy while doing this, leading to idealized mathematical depictions of it like angular momentum.

I get that you think you are showing me something I don’t understand here, but you arent getting it. Let me break it down... again.
Its not that there is an “absolute rotational frame”. Its that ACCELERATION ITSELF is absolute. No two frames of reference will ever disagree on the rate at which something is changing its velocity, as long as those frames are not themselves ACCELERATING. Two frames can disagree on an objects speed, or velocity all day long, based on their own speed or velocity. They will never disagree on the objects ACCELERATION, reguardless of their own velocity as long as that velocity is not changing. Do you get it now?

[Anonymous No.10380720]

>>10380695
>Do you get it now?
I don't disagree with you about anything. The point is that acceleration being absolute, and centrifugal force being a result of this, implies an essentially stable orientation of space, such that an object rotating with respect to that will necessarily have acceleration of its parts.

[Anonymous No.10380847]

>>10380755
See the vid from the timestamp here>>10380524. The problem is:
1. If the universe rotated around you while you stood still then your arms wouldn't fling out; you wouldn't experience centrifugal force.
2. If you rotate inside the universe your arms do fling out; you do experience centrifugal force.
3. Your motion relative to the stars should be the equivalent of the motion of the stars rotating around you, it should just be a question of the observers reference frame: to the observer on the star you are rotating, to you the stars are rotating around your field of vision.
4. But the absence or presence of the centrifugal force on your arms would be observed by all observers.
5. Therefore the motion of rotation is not relative to the observer but is absolute, we know that it is you rotating, not the stars/universe: you know this, the stars know this, a hypothetical observer outside the universe would know this, because you have centrifugal force acting upon you.

[Anonymous No.10380858]

>>10380720
>implies a stable orientation of space
No, it doesnt. Acceleration is essentially a change in frame of reference. Absolute VELOCITY would imply a stable orientation of space. You can run tests in a closed system with no reference point to see if you are in an inertial frame of reference. If the test fails, you are ACCELERATING. I really cant make it much clearer than that. Just know, that I know what you are trying to say, you are just wrong.

>1. If the universe rotated around you while you stood still then your arms wouldn't fling out; you wouldn't experience centrifugal force.
How do you know? This would require you to calculate the gravitational effect of the entire universe throughout all time on the observer.

[Anonymous No.10380865]

>>10380859
He is right, to a point. If all matter in the universe rotated around you, your arms wouldnt get pulled out. No calculations necessary. If spacetime rotated around you, its hard to say what the difference would be compared to you spinning.

[Anonymous No.10380881]

>>10380859
Modify the statement to say only the matter rotates, e.g. only the stars. Imagine looking up and seeing the stars as fast moving streaks (i.e. the same as what you see in your distorted field of vision when you spin around at night, except imagine you see that but you're not spinning.)

The problem is that rotation isn't relative, unlike every other force or motion in SR and GR: one frame is certain to be rotating because it experiences centrifugal force. GR may provide a mechanism for how cosmic mass out there can affect local rotational motion, and if the mass distribution of the universe is homogenous then perhaps that effect would somewhat mimic absolute space at least in regards to rotation. Not sure if it is satisfactory desu.

The problem is rotation is not relative. Your description is Newtonian and premised on absolute time and space. If the reverse happened and the stars spun around you then your arms wouldn't pull out, the rotational motion appears to be absolute: as the stars spin around your head any observer would know if either it was the stars rotating (arms stay by side) or if it was you rotating (arms pulled out), which doesn't jive with the relativity principle that says it should be dependent on the observers reference frame.

For example it's not meaningful to ask "is the Voyager 1 probe moving away from the solar system, or is the solar system moving away from the Voyager 1 probe?"

Not to an observer on the car. The observer on the car can perceive it is standing still and has accelerated you away.
