| Nov 5, 2012 at 16:31 | comment | added | Qmechanic♦ | @Pieter Müller: i) When one drives on a road there are all kinds of vibrations; ii) if the car is on the rotating Earth, one would have to assume that the road is an initial frame, which is the very assumption that OP is questioning in the first place; iii) or if we imagine that the "car" is really a spaceship in empty space, then David Freitas is comparing the fact one cannot feel the velocity of the spaceship, due to Galilean invariance of inertial frames, with the unrelated fact that one cannot feel the centrifugal acceleration on the surface of Earth, which is in an accelerated frame. | |
