The perceived superluminal velocities and the origins of the centrifugal, Coriolis, and Euler forces associated with a body in relativistic or nonrelativistic rotation are discussed. Consideration is given to a circularly symmetric, homogeneous disk rotating perpendicular to an axis through its center of gravity. An observer at the center corotating with the disk would not experience centrifugal forces, and no perception of superluminal velocities at the periphery would occur because all points on the disk would be at rest relative to all other points on the disk. The motion of the disk would be within the frame of reference relative to the movement of the universe. A force vector at any point then points away from the center (in a nonrelativistic frame) and into the frame of reference for the whole disk, i.e., centrifugal forces. Similar reasoning is indicated for the Coriolis and Euler forces, as well as centripetal force. The revolving disk is suggested as a possible model for the universe.
