Does centrifugal force teach us about gravity?

And then there are those on the higher scale of anality who really don’t want to talk about gravity as a force either - since it’s just a consequence of the curvature of space-time.

Not really - you can kinda use centrifugal force as a kind of stand-in for gravity - or to oppose gravity in (for example) a orbital situation - but the two things are really wildly different.

However, in many situations - talking about centrifugal forces can be a VERY useful simplification and thinking aid.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

The more anal scientists out there insist that it’s not a proper force - and that we should either stop using it - or talk about centripetal force instead…blah, blah, blah.
