(p. 41). Arguing along the same lines B. and J. Friedländer have suggested an experiment to show the relativity of rotational motions, and, accordingly, the reversibility of centrifugal phenomena ("Absolute and Relative Motion," Berlin, Leonhard Simion, 1896). On account of the smallness of the effect, the experiment cannot, at present, be performed successfully; but it is quite appropriate for making the physical content of this postulate more evident. The following remarks may be quoted:
