Gravity Probe B Confirms Two of Einstein’s Space-Time Theories

by Nancy Atkinson on May 4, 2011

Researchers have confirmed two predictions of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, concluding one of NASA’s longest-running projects. The Gravity Probe B experiment used four ultra-precise gyroscopes housed in an Earth-orbiting satellite to measure two aspects of Einstein’s theory about gravity. The first is the geodetic effect, or the warping of space and time around a gravitational body. The second is frame-dragging, which is the amount a spinning object pulls space and time with it as it rotates.

Gravity Probe-B determined both effects with unprecedented precision by pointing at a single star, IM Pegasi, while in a polar orbit around Earth. If gravity did not affect space and time, GP-B’s gyroscopes would point in the same direction forever while in orbit. But in confirmation of Einstein’s theories, the gyroscopes experienced measurable, minute changes in the direction of their spin, while Earth’s gravity pulled at them.

The project as been in the works for 52 years.

The findings are online in the journal Physical Review Letters.

COMMENT: From Newton to Faraday to Maxwell to TESLA, humanity was on a path that would long ago have led to the development of extremely efficient - and environmentally clean - energy technology. By now, we would have eliminated both pollution and poverty on the entire planet.


This could not be allowed, so the Forces of Darkness sent in Albert Einstein and the Quantum Mechanics to DERAIL science, and put it on a counterfeit path. 


The fact of a fourth spatial dimension makes time the fifth dimension, not the fourth; there is NO SUCH THING as "the fabric of space-time".
