I was rereading Nigel Calder's book "Einstein's Universe" and he
makes mention of a proposed experiment involving specially constructed
gyroscopes that were to be carried on a space shuttle flight. The
experiment was designed at Stanford and was supposed to verify Einstein's
theory regarding the effects of drag by a massive object (earth) on surrounding
space. Has anyone heard of such an experiment? Was it carried out?
What were the results? The book was written before the shuttle flew in
space.
Thanks,
