Reply to comment by obog in Does rotation break relativity? by starfyredragon

Technically not and you can perform some tests confirming that (objects on the far wall will be accelerating ever so slightly compared to the objects on the inside wall), but the effect on the typical spacestation scale is very small (in order of nanometers per second squared).

Well yeah, as I said on small scales it does seem to be inertial but it isn't quite and those effects are noticeable between multiple objects in similar orbits.
