e/Bucket argument

Information
has gloss	eng: Isaac Newtons rotating bucket argument (also known as "Newtons bucket") was designed to demonstrate that true rotational motion cannot be defined as the relative rotation of the body with respect to the immediately surrounding bodies. It is one of five arguments from the "properties, causes, and effects" of true motion and rest that support his contention that, in general, true motion and rest cannot be defined as special instances of motion or rest relative to other bodies, but instead can be defined only by reference to absolute space. Alternatively, these experiments provide an operational definition of what is meant by "absolute rotation", and do not pretend to address the question of "rotation relative to what?".

Meaning

has gloss	por: A experiência do balde de Newton consiste em girar um balde suspenso por uma corda até a corda ficar bastante torcida, e então encher o balde com água e soltá-lo, nota-se que enquanto a corda desenrola-se, a superfície da água, que de início era plana, vai ficando curva. Isaac Newton descreve a experiência em sua obra Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica para tentar provar a existência do espaço absoluto, argumentando que numa rotação apenas relativa a superfície é plana, já a superfície curva indicaria um movimento absoluto.
