Idiot alert.

Now
suppose that everything in the universe is constantly engaging in a
kind of rotational motion around a single point in space.

1) Every point in the universe is at its exact center. all 4(pi)
steadians exactly point to the Big Bang.
2) Acceleration, linear and angular, is an absolutely measurable
observable in hermetic isolation - mechanical gyroscope, laser ring
gyroscope, Foucault pendulum, cantilever accelerometer, etc. Mount
three orthogonal accelerometers and look.

That which
is close to the point in space is moving more slowly, and that which
is on the opposite side of space is not moving and that which is
closer to the other point is moving slower as well.
[snip crap]

If everything IS relative, shouldn't rotation be relative as well?

Acceleration is absolute.
