General Relativity and Frame-Dragging Einstein’s theory predicts massive rotating objects (like Earth) drag spacetime around them, proven by NASA’s Gravity Probe B. This “frame-dragging” shows gravity isn’t static. Some speculate extreme versions (e.g., around black holes) could be harnessed for propulsion or time manipulation. While not anti-gravity, it confirms spacetime is malleable. Technologies exploiting this are purely theoretical. The effect is minuscule for Earth-sized masses. However, it validates that gravity can be influenced by motion and mass distribution. This understanding is crucial for precision satellite navigation. Frame-dragging doesn’t enable levitation but demonstrates gravity’s dynamic nature, providing a scientific basis for exploring how spacetime curvature might one day be manipulated, albeit with currently unimaginable energy and technology.
