Abstract: In the current paper we present the expression of the relativistic fictitious forces as measured in the frame of a non-uniformly rotating platform. The solution is of great interest for real time applications because Earth-bound laboratories are inertial only in approximation. The motivation is that the real life applications include accelerating and rotating frames more often than the idealised case of inertial frames; our daily experiments happen in the laboratories attached to the rotating Earth. The accelerations play an important role in centrifuges ramping up to speed. We will provide a straightforward method of deriving the fictitious forces arising in the rotating frame in their relativistic form. We are also correcting the expression of the Euler force in its classical (non-relativistic) form by correcting an error in its derivation that has persisted for centuries. This paper is dedicated to professors Mikayel Sarian and Eliza Haseganu.
