VIVAnews -meters of the gravitational property of United States Space Agency, NASA, prove two important assumptions that prompted Albert Einstein in his theory of relativity. This theory was conceived by Einstein in 52 years ago.

The Mission of the gravity Probe B (GP-B) was launched in 2004 to study the two Einstein's assumptions. First, with regard to effects of Geodesy, or the curvature of space and time around the gravity. Secondly, the assumption about the frame-dragging, in which the amount of the structure of space-time due to the rotation of a mass of terpilin explains.

"Imagine Earth as immersed in objects, such as honey," said Francis Everitt, researchers from Stanford University who is also the main GP-B researchers. "When the earth rotates, honey in the surrounding area will be formed after the Vortex (swirl), so it is with time and space," so the analogy Everitt.

Gravity Probe-B using four gyroscope (measuring the orientation) with ultra high precision level for measuring these two hypotheses of gravity. The tool will confirm both the effect of gravity by sending the star called IM Pegasi, a precision that neutral.

As gravity does not affect the time and space, the gyroscope GP-B would point to the same direction as the probe into polar orbit around the Earth. However, the gyroscopes have small but measurable changes in the direction of rotation of the Earth in the attraction.

"The results of this mission will have long-term implications for the theory that the physicist," said Bill Danchi, expert antrofisika and observers in the Nasa headquarters in Washington.

"Any theory that doubt about the theory of general relativity Einstein will in trying to find the right measurement results of the GP-B," remained Danchi.

The result was the longest running NASA project, who've been in the examination of the gyroscope relativity since 1963 is involved.

Research and experiments carried out in the last few decades that it is a pioneer in technology to control the interference that could affect the shuttle, if the attraction of aerodynamic, magnetic fields, and variations of Eve. In addition, the Mission of the Star tracker and gyroscope NASA is a great tool with highest precision are designed and produced.
