Below is an article on Stanford University website about this experiment. April 20, 2004, though, a Boeing Delta rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base with a highly sophisticated satellite designed to use mechanisms to test general relativity. Last week I was in Portland, OR for Applied Super Conductivity Conference. NASA's long term Gravity Probe-B mission has proven that Einstein's general relativity is, once again, accurate. One of the most spectacular and successful ideas of the 20 Century was Einstein's General Relativity, or the idea that matter and energy determines the curvature of spacetime, and the curvature of spacetime in turn determines how gravitation works. This problem is actually one assigned in the undergraduate general relativity course I took in the spring 2008. Gravity Probe B has confirmed two of the most interesting effects predicted by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Wishmaster is basically like the worst grammar nazi friend ever. What are the 2 effects that was tested by GP-B? In particular, white dwarfs — like Sirius B, illustrated above — condense a Sun's worth of mass into a volume of only the Earth, creating spacetime that's curved 100 times more severely than at our Sun's photosphere. This is the Gravity Probe B satellite. To test Einstein's theory of general relativity, Gravity Probe B must measure two minuscule angles with spinning gyroscopes, floating in space. The idea of testing general relativity with orbiting gyroscopes was suggested independently by two physicists, George Pugh and Leonard Schiff, in late 1959-early 1960.

The opening Plenary Session was on Testing General Relativity in Space. Astronomers have obtained the most compelling evidence yet that massive objects dramatically warp space–time, as predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity. Hartle's book Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein's General Relativity, chapter 6, problem 9. Well, they want to make an atom interferometer to measure the effects of general relativity, by starting with ultra-cold rubidium atoms and manipulating them with light pulses.
