Default Frame dragging confirmed

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Einstein was right -- again. Satellites that have

been pulled slightly off their orbits show that the Earth
is indeed twisting the fabric of space-time as it rotates, scientists said

on Thursday.



THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE GRAVITY PROBE B RESULTS. DON'T
BELIEVE THIS YET UNTIL GRAVITY PROBE B RESULTS ARE IN.
WAIT ANOTHER YEAR.

I say: don't believe anything you read in all caps.

Seriously, these results have nothing to do with GPB, but so what?

I really love informed, intelligent debate. Care to say what you think
is wrong with this experiment? Sure, GPB will produce results with
less error, but that doesn't nullify these results.
