You can test it on earth! Take a glass, fill it with water. Put something in it that floats, keep it away from the sides. Rotate the glass.

- mistersquid 9y agoThank you for your suggested experiment, though the set ups are different in one crucial regard. The water molecules interact with the glass, each other, and the floating object. The vessel's occupant (as mentioned in my earlier post) is in the vessel's interior which has no atmosphere (vacuum).
- rwallace 9y agoThe vessel will spin around the occupant. The glass of water test is equivalent to the case where the vessel contains air, and the answer is the vessel still spins around the occupant for a while, until the fluid transmits the motion to the occupant.
