Centrifugal force is fake

At six years old, my life was one day flipped over like a pancake, shaken like a pair dice, and spun around like the most awesome ride ever created, the “Spaceship”. That’s exactly what happened one summer day at the County Fair, there my friend Kyle and I were just racing around like squirrels that had just arrived to the World Nut Carnival (Free nuts galore!). Even in our frenzied excitement, the awesome spectacle of a giant, shiny, spinning, disk was able to stop us right in our tracks. “The Spaceship” was the name our creative minds had dubbed it. At first with wide eyes we watched as lines swelled and thinned, as crowds of chattering people in the glaring sunlight disappeared into the black entrance. We watched opened mouth as the door lifted up and creaked slowly into its place, like a tomb being sealed off forever.

What really is going on is our own mass supplying the force that enables us to stick to the wall with the wall pushing back with equal force. In motion matter will tend to stay in motion in the same direction unless another force is applied, in my case the wall of the spaceship.

But it starts to pick up speed, faster and faster our eyes watched it until it was nothing but a blur, the background music was deafening, screaming from the inside of the craft. Our young minds had no
