==========
PROF. MERRIFIELD: Mach's Principle. As in Mach number, as in the speed of sound.Well, let's start off, back up a little bit.I want to talk about centripetal force and centrifugal force'cause they're kind of sources of much confusion and amusement.People commonly talk about centrifugal force, and then you learn a little bit of physics,and then you get told actually there's no such thing as centrifugal force;there's just a thing called centripetal force. And then, if you go a little bit further down the line,maybe you think, "Well, maybe there's both." So we should talk about them both actually.So, a bit of latin: <i> Fugo, fugare </i> means "to flee&quo...
