written by C. W. Francis Everitt
See this site to learn about a NASA-Stanford test of two extraordinary, unverified predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. The spin of four gyroscopes in an Earth satellite will show how space and time are warped and dragged by Earth. Don't miss the Timeline--it tells a fascinating story, going back to the first proposal for this investigation back in 1959.
