Speeding ice wall, and a couple of huge centrifuges

Yes, it rotates, just not like Tom says.

Care to elaborate? Speed of rotation and how it's determined?

TheEngineer? Anyone?

Should I just assume that the exact speed of FE rotation is unknown, and that there is no way to determine it? How can this be? Even if FE rotates slower than one revolution per 24 hours, it should still act as a centrifuge, right? The effect would just be smaller.

Or if the rotational speed cannot be determined, how can TheEngineer - or anyone else for that matter - be sure that it actually rotates at all?

Its not possible to determine, it can only be postulated..

Why could it not be determined? Based on what do you say that it's not possible?

If the FE rotated once per 24 hours, then could it be possible to measure the centrifuge effect near the ice wall (like in Cape Horn or Australia)?

My guess would be that it can be measured, even at a slower rotational speed, but then again I'm no scientist.
