?It's not that complex inasmuch as I know what to
expect from having experienced it, but as regards
a coherent explanation, it continues to elude me.
If
I was forced to engage some rust mired neurons in
calculating the centripetal force on a rope of radius length r
at the end of which was a mass m revolving at n radians/sec,
I'm sure I could do it, though likely I'd have
to cheat and look it up (but the vector method
with a tangent/right angle hypotenuse solution
is trying to crawl it's way out of the muck even as I type....)
Recollections of time/space distortions around heavy objects,
like the earth's orbit around the sun pop up:
only to be discarded as non-applicable, though the desire
to make some fanciful yarn up is difficult to resist.
Prior discourse with Organicum in re “Maxwell‘s Devil”
could be appropriate:

Or, to demonstrate maybe some confusion on the related question
of air-cyclone dynamic separations:

All in all, I no longer feel
as stupid as I am:
