Many people who have taken an intro-level physics course probably heard their instructor tell them that "centrifugal forces don't exist" or something similar. But what does it mean for a force to not be real? It turns out that the centrifugal force falls under what is known as a "fictitious force," or a force that arises from being in a non-inertial reference frame. These types of forces may not have the same origin as a typical external force like gravity or tension, but they still have very real physical consequences for observers in the non-inertial frame.
