We assume an empty universe containing only a disk. There are two positions our observers could stand. Position A is the center and position B is a point on the edge of the disk. Two observers in positions A and B could define which of one is rotating around the other because of the existence of the centrifugal force which appears ONLY in position B!! This rotation could be called as absolute!

How is this independent of the fact that space is relative? 

Is there a centrifugal force on B, if the disk (and observers) was massless?
