To support his views, Newton provided some empirical examples: according to Newton, a solitary rotating sphere can be inferred to rotate about its axis relative to absolute space by observing the bulging of its equator, and a solitary pair of spheres tied by a rope can be inferred to be in absolute rotation about their center of gravity ( barycenter ) by observing the tension in the rope.

Supposing the bodies tied by a rope to hold them together ( rather than gravity, which is ignored in this example ), the rope is under tension if the bodies are rotating relative to absolute space ( according to Rotating spheres | Newton ), or because they rotate relative to the Universe itself ( according to Mach's principle | Mach ), or because they rotate relative to an inertial frame of reference according to modern ideas.
