First we will go with common sense.that the Earth's surface is a stable
platform.and unmoving.

All motion is relative. There is no motion unless you compare it to
something else.


Then how do you explain rotational motion? Even if you are not
relating or comparing it to something else, if it turns too fast, you
fly off? Is this still relative motion?

Yes, it is still relative motion.

Rotational motion could just as easily be the entire universe rotating
around a stable object, as the object rotating.

If the universe is rotating around the object, it is the force of the
rotating universe that pulls the person away from the stationary object.

If you wish to look at it that way.


If I chose to look at it that the universe is rotating around the Earth
every 24 hours, then how do I explain how all those distant stars and
galaxies are able to travel at many times the speed of light in order
to make it around every day? And if the Earth's gravity were strong
enough to hold all those distant objects in orbit, then why wouldn't
everything on the Earth be crushed into a black hole?
