                That only works if you get distracted, say by a nice game of cricket.

                      Thank you, 5, Big Kiss, Cigar and Handshake. I have, for many years, been arguing with friends who are by no means stupid, but who are scientifically challenged, that there is no such thing as centrifugal force, it is centripetal! I see I have an ally in my quest to rid the world of this ignorant term.

                          Science can replace the religion, but is not a religion.

                              IMO you can't disprove centripetal and centrifugal forces, all you can do is deny them, as I do. Newton didn't need them, Copernicus didn't need them, all physical observations that can be explained, get explained without them. They are urban legends, it simply is inertia abused by pseudo-scientists that want to swing a bucket full of water, and the reaction to it. :)

                                Sounds like they don't know the difference between a centrifuge and gravity.

                                        IMO you can't disprove centripetal and centrifugal forces, all you can do is deny them, as I do. Newton didn't need them, Copernicus didn't need them, all physical observations that can be explained, get explained without them. They are urban legends, it simply is inertia abused by pseudo-scientists that want to swing a bucket full of water, and the reaction to it. :)

                                        You are obviously not a physicist! Centripetal force is a real force, a square law force at that, and nature loves them! (F=m.v^2/r and S=r.Δv/v are useful equations to remember)
