Coming back to the example of @Dale in post #42 I think the logic to conclude that physics laws are the same in the two rotating frames is as follows:
The two inertial frames involved (with coordinates ##x,y,t## and ##x',y',t## respectively) are moving apart with constant relative velocity. By virtue of the principle of relativity restricted to inertial frames the laws of physics (i.e. their set of equations) are the same in the two inertial frames. Then we perform exactly the same transformation starting from each of them (what changes are just the names of coordinates used for the inertial and the rotating frame involved). That does mean the set of equations (i.e. physical laws) have to change accordingly in the same way in both the non-inertial rotating frames (with coordinates ##X,Y,t## and ##X',Y',t## respectively).
Is that correct ? Thanks.
