Rotation is absolute, linear motion is relative?

[QUOTE="Ibix, post: 6841664, member: 365269"] What do you mean by "U shape"? Once the rotation axis is outside the bucket there will no longer be a dip in the middle of the bucket, sure, but the water height will still vary in a paraboloidal fashion - just a very off-center paraboloid. This is because the apparent gravity points to the center of rotation, which is at a slightly different angle to a straight wall at different points. [/QUOTE]
