I would like to say I fully comprehend all that you say here, but truthfully I 
don't. One thing I do think is that whether one jumps from a spinning 
Merry-go-round, or whether one jumps from a Merry-go-round that is standing 
still while the earth beneath the Merry-go-round rotates, the effect will be 
the same. True?
    Thank you for the post. Ronald Knarr

  As Moller's text on Relativity makes clear, the centrifugal, Coriolis 
  and Eulerian forces which are treated as fictitious forces in a 
  non-geocentric context are real, actual forces in a geocentric context. 
  Further, the origin of inertia must be understood properly prior to 
  mounting an analysis. (This is important because one would otherwise 
  misunderstand a helpful analogy: comparing eg Voyager to a marble 
  rolling linearly from the center of a spinning merry-go-round to the 
  outer rim. The analogy might lead one to expect centrifugal force to 
  hurl the marble (Voyager) off the merry-go-round -- but in the case of 
  the actual rotating cosmos, the inertial field is FIXED to the aggregate 
  universal mass, while a playground's merry-go-round is ROTATING with 
  respect to that inertial field. Therefore, the Voyager participates in 
  the rotation of the cosmic mass around the earth, but the inertial 
  effects must be scaled to its relative motion "with respect to the 
  distant stars" (often called the "fixed stars" under the influence of 
  Copernican thinking).
