    Experimental Demonstration of space-time distortion

    According to the general theory of relativity deform very large rotating masses spacetime around him. This Frame-dragging was detected by the satellite Rossi X-ray radiation for neutron stars and black holes are detected.

    Star Trek fans for believing there has never been a shred of doubt: The space-time is distorted near certain galactic objects.
    To date, the scientific community was opposed reserved. But now two groups of experimental evidence of the Lense-Thirring effect is achieved. The phenomenon was predicted already in 1918 - it is a consequence of Einstein's general theory of relativity These postulated that space-time curvature is caused by any rotating body, even from the earth.. But when the earth is not very difficult and also does not rotate very fast, the expected effect is very small.
