I like it. Hope the device functions properly.

With all due respect to Lense and Thirring, frame dragging isn't really "Einstein's" prediction. The media oft confuses predictions of General Relativity with predictions of "Einstein".

Good point, GRQC; we'd do well to remember that; especially since one of the two majors verifications sought here are strictly a prediction of Lense & Thirring. Would to God more writers would give proper credit where it is due in that regard.

No one knows who the other people are though. When it comes to scientists, people only care about Einstein and possibly Hawking.
