NASA says a team of researchers, meticulously studying the movements of two satellites, have confirmed a key, untested prediction of the Theory of General Relativity known as "frame-dragging."

Just as the presence of mass warps the space around it (think of massively-heavy black holes causing the physical equivalent of, well, a black hole), a large, spinning body should therefore pull the nearby section space-time along for the ride.  (Think of a bowling ball spinning in molasses, of Karl Rove spinning in bullshit.)  In this case, the satellites wound up measurably shifted in location, simply from the relativistic effects of the Earth’s rotation.

Incidentally, one of the two major candidates for president would be comfortable in this conversation.  The other would be happier around medievalists speaking in tongues.
