Special relativity had considered only constantly moving reference .. The Gravity Probe-B measured the geodetic effect, the amount that Earth warps the space and time in which it sits, and frame-dragging, or the extent that Earth's rotation churns spacetime around with it. The rotation of the Earth affects the movement of spacetime itself. Hartle's book Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein's General Relativity, chapter 6, problem 9. Note Added 05 May 2011: A new story on the BBC website, Gravity Probe B confirms Einstein effects, further discusses the work of Gravity Probe B in demonstrating the frame-dragging effect of general relativity. The approach of the Christian apologist is to argue that if B is the big bang, then the only cause, A, available is God, because nothing physical can precede the big bang. The discovery of the double radio pulsar system, PSR J0737-3039A/B, surpassed most expectations, both theoretical and observational, as a tool to probe general relativity, stellar evolution and pulsar theories. A gravity probe whose origins date to the era before human spaceflight has finally proved general relativity right, according to NASA. Has finally proved general relativity right, according to NASA. A decade after his paper on special relativity, Einstein published his general relativity that addressed accelerated reference frames and provided a new theory of gravity. "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. This problem is actually one assigned in the undergraduate general relativity course I took in the spring 2008.
