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).
