If you go by these sites they seem to say it's a "false force"....or "reactive force." I think reactive force is more appropriate. Although.....you prolly could also get into the definition of "force" and what it means exactly.... ... Makes sense though.....the centrifugal force is only there because there is something that is creating it....I guess that would be centripetal force...the actual rotation....which creates the centrifugal force. ... Really though.... Even if this is the way it is.....is does little to devalidate TGM in a working sense......more of a semantics thing or w/e.....all it would change is the definition itself.....add centripetal into the mix.
