Earth's Twisty Spacewarp

Yet another prediction by Einstein's general theory of relativity seems to be holding true: a rotating body, such as Earth, should slightly twist the space in which it is embedded. Two physicists who have been tracking satellites orbiting Earth claim to have made the first reliable measurement of this effect. Others remain unconvinced — but a different experiment should soon settle the question once and for all.
