NASA CONFIRMS!!! Space Time Vortex DOES EXIST Around Earth

" Einstein was right again. There is a space-time vortex around Earth, and its shape precisely matches the predictions of Einstein's theory of gravity.

Researchers confirmed these points at a press conference today at NASA headquarters where they announced the long-awaited results of Gravity Probe B (GP-B).

"The space-time around Earth appears to be distorted just as general relativity predicts," says Stanford University physicist Francis Everitt, principal investigator of the Gravity Probe B mission."

Re: NASA CONFIRMS!!! Space Time Vortex DOES EXIST Around Earth
"The results of Gravity Probe B give physicists renewed confidence that the strange predictions of Einstein's theory are indeed correct, and that these predictions may be applied elsewhere. The type of spacetime vortex that exists around Earth is duplicated and magnified elsewhere in the cosmos--around massive neutron stars, black holes, and active galactic nuclei."

Re: NASA CONFIRMS!!! Space Time Vortex DOES EXIST Around Earth
To be honest, this is really above my head BUT I see a lot of space nuts here on GLP. Basically, it sounds like they've done this experiment with the expectation that Einstein's theory was accurate, but not complete. Now...it sounds like he nailed it!

Re: NASA CONFIRMS!!! Space Time Vortex DOES EXIST Around Earth
it means space and time are inseperable, yet when they "twist" it creates folds in the center . Like holding a can with both hands one on each end. Then u twist it, folds appear near the middle, and variations occur. the ends draw nearer together, and some think these "folds" can be punctured.

And to just think...Gene Rodenberry capitolized on this concept to promote ideas of space travel and such. How could he, 50 years ago, understand this theory and concept when the emost inteligent minds in the world are JUST now confirming this concept.

Re: NASA CONFIRMS!!! Space Time Vortex DOES EXIST Around Earth
Read this and think;
"According to calculations, the twisted space-time around Earth should cause the axes of the gyros to drift merely 0.041 arcseconds over a year. An arcsecond is 1/3600th of a degree. To measure this angle reasonably well, GP-B needed a fantastic precision of 0.0005 arcseconds. It's like measuring the thickness of a sheet of paper held edge-on 100 miles away.
"GP-B researchers had to invent whole new technologies to make this possible," notes Will.
They developed a "drag free" satellite that could brush against the outer layers of Earth's atmosphere without disturbing the gyros. They figured out how to keep Earth's magnetic field from penetrating the spacecraft. And they created a device to measure the spin of a gyro--without touching the gyro. More information about these technologies may be found in the Science@NASA story "A Pocket of Near-Perfection."
Pulling off the experiment was an exceptional challenge. But after a year of data-taking and nearly five years of analysis, the GP-B scientists appear to have done it.
"We measured a geodetic precession of 6.600 plus or minus 0.017 arcseconds and a frame dragging effect of 0.039 plus or minus 0.007 arcseconds," says Everitt..."

IMHO they are pulling these accuracies outta their ass.

whatever
