Christoph Bobrowski says, "..in a universe in which the bucket is the
only object...it is absolutely meaningless to say that the bucket rotates."

The whole difference between a mathematician's approach to the problem and
a physicist's is that the physicist will say that the above statement is
incorrect.  The physicist will say it is not meaningless.  Space is a
physical entity with physical properties and one *can*, in fact, rotate
with respect to it!
