Granular space time and frame dragging

Click For Summary
The discussion explores whether a single rotating massive body in the universe would create detectable frame dragging effects on a detector, conceptualizing space-time disturbances as a whirlpool. The idea is to understand how granular space-time might behave under such conditions, without involving black holes. The Newton's bucket thought experiment is referenced, suggesting a connection to the effects of rotation on space-time. Participants express curiosity about the implications of these concepts and the nature of gravitational interactions. The conversation highlights the complexities of understanding frame dragging in relation to rotating masses.

If there were only one rotating massive body and a detector in the universe, would the detector be able to detect that body due to frame dragging, i am imagining the body acting on granular space time akin to a whirlpool,
were space time is disturbed in a spiral motion.
I am not talking about black holes, just any sub black hole mass.

Do you have Newton's bucket thought experiment in mind?
 
To be honest i do not know what a Newton bucket is, i will look it up. thanks.
 

Thread 'Questioning the timescape model'

"Supernovae evidence for foundational change to cosmological models" https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.15143 The paper claims: We compare the standard homogeneous cosmological model, i.e., spatially flat ΛCDM, and the timescape cosmology which invokes backreaction of inhomogeneities. Timescape, while statistically homogeneous and isotropic, departs from average Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker evolution, and replaces dark energy by kinetic gravitational energy and its gradients, in explaining...
