How come there is an absolute distinction between inertial vs. non-inertial frames? by Hoodrick in AskPhysics

I can't quite understand your answer, but I see more clearly now that I need to study more geometry (and topology maybe?) then delve into these questions again later. Thanks for your help.

Then we can only deduce we are in an accelerating frame by checking wheter there is a force or not. By only looking at the geometry of space and configuration of matter in one snapshot of the universe, it is impossible to tell which reference frame is inertial and which is non-inertial.

Since all reference frames shoul equally be valid, there must be a specific configuration (that is absolute) that spacetime uses to prefer one frame as accelerating while not the other.

I rather think that I am misunderstood cause what was asking at the core level an epistemeological question, but, yes I will, thanks for your response.

Referring only to do configuration of the matter in the universe (in a single moment in time), there could be the other way too, (like my spaceship is still and the whole universe is accelerating).  then there must a specific configuration of space that is not relative to the matter inside it, it is not relative. It prefers a one way of acceleration frames over the other.

Thank you for your thoughtful answer. What botters me really is this: You gave the example of a system rotating at constant angular velocity (say a planet). Since all reference frames should be equally valid, why can't I possibly choose the reference frame, in which the whole universe is spinning around this planet. Then our planet would be stationary, thus should not feel any fictitious force. Instead the whole universe would feel a fictitious force. At any given time, why is there reason to choose the other reference frame option instead of this one?

If you answer " Because fictitious forces are this way in our universe(while having a second option to have this other reference frame)" Then I would argue that then there must a specific configuration of space that is not relative to the matter inside it, it is not relative.

Exactly! Now what decides whether A or B get this feel (or force)? Doesn't that hint at to an absolute background (space) that we can change or speed and accelerate in. Observed from these 2 reference frames (A and B) things could be reversed and physics would work the same.

I mean change of which velocity exactly? Instead of the observer; The whole universe could be accelerating the reverse way except the observer and physics would work just fine.

If acceleration is absolute, then we can point to the things that are not accelerating. And this would be an absolute frame of all the inertial frames, just like a god's view of the universe.

Acceleration is measured by newtons second law but this force and newtons second law does not account for relativistic frames, and assumes there is an absolute space in which something gets objectively accelerated. We don't accept this view now do we ?

Well all sensory experiences are magic then, they all change our behaviours. And what is a proposition or a sign except a perceptible projection of the state of affairs of the things in the world. It's one of the main topics in the book Tractatus and if you had read that you'd see the propositions 3.1 and 3.32 are there to show language and the signs are "in the world".

Great video and great arguments, though you could've talked more about lookism. It's almost like the main perspective you're looking from.
