hello
I am facing a conceptual problem in general relativity. I realized that according to einstein's theory of gravity, if I start rotating, I can say myself to be stationary and the entire cosmos revolving around me making me feel the outward force(centrefugal force in earlier view).
But according to my view, I will be viewing distant parts of the cosmos rotating faster than the speed of light.
I know that in gravitational fields light slows down making it not fixed or absolute. But in this case mass is moving faster which I am not able to grasp.
Help me and correct me if I have made wrong assumptions.
