Centrifugal force is either apparent only or reactive only, depending on what kind of centrifugal force you mean (sliding across the seat in a car going around a curve is the apparent kind - whirling a bucket of water in a vertical circle is the reactive kind.) The apparent one is fictional, the reactive one is just pure action-reaction.
This was not well understood in Newton's time. Neither was quantum mechanics. Also at that time, they didn't know that mass is a form of energy, which was my point earlier.
No, I've not see your proof. I seriously doubt its validity.
You participated in the thread where I prove centrifugal force is real and the object once released does indeed accelerate away from the center of rotation. Although I believe I scared away Ayasano after he reviewed it. It was in the Tesla's Zero Time Generator thread. It's too simple a proof. Newton probably had this in his Principea, and it was removed. I do recall I learned the math to understand the concept in the 10th grade.
No where in the physical observations is Mass apparent. It's all weight. It's like someone threw a monkey wrench into the knowledgebase. And no one questions why it's there. It doesn't fit. It's pure fiction. Mass is a measurement of a defined quantity of weight in a motionless environment.
An object in gravitational freefall within a vacuum is weightless. How do you measure the mass of a weightless object?
