Hi Alex,

I have consumed an amount of red wine, so I will probably make perfect sense for a change

I just want to say one thing to you, all the theoretical stuff is fine, the questions without answers are good, it stimulates the brain....however....here is my tip, after a lifetime of thinking about stuff, keeping it simple is always the best policy.

The more you read into something the more complex and convoluted it becomes and the essence of what you require becomes clouded and often forgotten or replaced by new thoughts on queer tangents.

Take for instance the frame-dragging effect, forget what the math states, forget about geometrical models, go back to basics with this, it's so simple if you let it be. The spinning of an object has an effect on its surrounding, would you agree with that, you probably would. That is as simple as you can state it, so why the hang up when you upsize to a planet that is in the 'Real' universe, why wouldn't the spin of our planet have an effect on what surrounds it, and isn't that effect felt throughout the universe as a whole?

NOTHING happens in isolation, if the space around our planet is affected due to the Earths rotation, then the universe is affected because you can't simply have a set of rules that apply in isolation.

What's good for one is good for all, keep it simple mate. You will understand more by breaking all the theories down to basic units that cannot be broken down further and stringing them together.

Perhaps too much red, I feel flushed, I better stop now.
