Letter: Letter: Centrifugal thoughts

Published 16 February 1991

From T S HARRISS

I have always believed that the critics of relativity are all crackpots.
But now that John Gribbin has made it known (Letters, 26 January) that the
term (and presumably the concept) ‘centrifugal force’ is favoured by the
relativists, I am beginning to have second thoughts.
