I am not sure I want to trust a webpage that calls Einstein an idiot.

The webpage also only considers the Lorentz transformation between
inertial frames that are moving uniformly with respect to each other.

Einstein gave the example of the rotating disk to show that the
geometry in an accelerated frame, or a frame within a gravitational
field, is non-euclidean.

Specifically, that for the rotating disk C/D > pi.

An observer in a non-inertial reference frames may see more "space" in
certain bounded regions than an observer in an inertial frame would,
and this "extra space" is physically real.
