I don't possesses enough knowledge of GR to know if this proposal is feasible (or even remotely possible) I would welcome any constructive criticism of the following idea for detecting Lens Thirring effect:
Apparatus consists of a dense, massive sphere or disc, rotating at high velocity. Around the circumference is wound many kilometers of optical fiber. A CW laser beam is shot through the fiber and enters an interferometer along with reference beam. As the rotational velocity varies, a moving interference pattern should be detected.
Is this proposal remotely achievable?
