PS - lidt om Frame-dragging og geodetic effect:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame-dragging
Citat: "...
Lense and Thirring predicted that the rotation of an object would alter 
space and time, dragging a nearby object out of position compared to the 
predictions of Newtonian physics. The predicted effect is small—about 
one part in a few trillion. In order to detect it, it is necessary to 
look at a very massive object, or build an instrument that is very 
sensitive. More generally, the subject of field effects caused by moving 
matter is known as gravitomagnetism.
....
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. It is now the best-known effect, 
partly thanks to the Gravity Probe B experiment.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_effect
Citat: "...
The geodetic effect represents the effect of the curvature of spacetime, 
predicted by general relativity, on a spinning, moving body.
