The physics pedant's favorite party trick. Centrifugal force isn't technically a "real" force—it's an apparent force that only exists in rotating reference frames. In an inertial frame, what you're actually experiencing is the centripetal force keeping you in circular motion, while your body tries to follow Newton's first law and move in a straight line. Next time someone mentions centrifugal force at a party, you now have scientific justification to be insufferably correct while everyone slowly backs away.
