That's a good question, but the short answer is no. Fictitious forces relate to particular choices of coordinate systems (and their origins). For example, the centrifugal force is an easy way to think about the tendency to be pulled "down" by an astronaut aboard a spinning space station; that astronaut can think of a set of cylindrical coordinates with the origin at the centre of rotation of the station, or of a set of Cartesian coordinates with the origin at some point on the "floor" and centrifugal force is simply natural-seeming. However, if the astronaut uses a non-rotating set of…
