The discussion centers on the concept of absolute space and its relation to inertial forces. It is established that absolute space is not necessary to explain inertial forces, which are fundamentally linked to acceleration relative to an inertial frame. The consensus is that the existence of absolute space is not supported, as it does not contribute to the understanding of inertial forces. Examples provided clarify that inertial forces arise from acceleration rather than any absolute reference point.

Abhilash H N said:The title might be confusing. Anyway while preparing for a seminar I made a statement, " Absolute space does not explain the inertial forces, since they are related to acceleration with respect to anyone of the inertial frame". Is this statement correct? Please explain with few examples, Thank you..
