From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame-dragging" :
"Under the Lense–Thirring effect, the frame of reference in which a clock ticks the fastest is one which is rotating around the object as viewed by a distant observer. This also means that light traveling in the direction of rotation of the object will move around the object faster than light moving against the rotation as seen by a distant observer."
Is this a speed change to light wrt itself? Is the observation of the "distant observer" different to an observer sitting on the object?
Side question: Is the location of the object, the observer and the traveling light what is meant when people talk about a "coordinate chart"?
