The
View From A Rotating Platform
•Imagine being in a rotating restaurant on top of a tall building. All the outside objects are very far away – much farther than the distance across the room.
•
•Paint the view on
the windows – and keep the people
near the center of the room – away from the windows themselves.
•
•Can the people tell
if the room is rotating, or if
the painted windows are just moving around the room?
•
•Which is more reasonable – a rotating room or rotating painted windows?
