I was thinking perhaps nuclear spin, or these Cooper pairs I've been hearing about.
I know it isn't a 'verified phenomenon', but neither are black holes and gravitational waves, although we are very confident in their existence. This aside, there would still be theories as to why and how this effect might occur. It has been claimed to have been observed more than once.
Then would you like to make exact citations to the papers that have made these claims, and then see if they have been verified? If you do not do that, then these are very much empty claims.
Blackholes and gravitational waves have
indirect observational existence. The phenomenon that you are claiming has NONE. One thing you need to understand about condensed matter physics, as opposed to cosmology or GR is that these experiments have
tighter degree of requirements for validity, because these are experiments that we can construct very, very accurately, and can manipulate more easily. That is why the values of "e" and "h" are defined based on what is measured out of condensed matter experiments. Thus, the fact that such gravitomagnetic phenomenon hasn't been verified after all these years since the Podkletnov claim (and other similar claims) should ring plenty of warning bells in your head.
Note further that even in the Podkletnov claim they don't use any old Cooper Pairs. The "physics" being used to explain such effects were done on high-Tc superconductors using the d-wave order parameter, since the experiment was done using YBCO disks. So conventional superconductors with s-wave parameter would not work, or so they claim. This makes it even more dubious.
This thread and the nature of this question are verging on highly speculative (and even crackpottish tendency) issues. Unless you have some valid citations that you can bring up to sustain this discussion, it doesn't not pass our PF Guidelines requirement.
