Relativity passes latest test Oct 20


Einstein's general theory of relativity has survived its latest encounter
with experiment. Ignazio Ciufolini of the University of Lecce in Italy and
Erricos Pavlis of the University of Maryland in the US have measured a
value of the Lense-Thirring effect -- also known as frame-dragging -- that
is 99% of that predicted by general relativity (Nature 431 958). However,
the uncertainty in the result could be as high as 10%, and a number of
researchers have pointed put that there might be other sources of error in
what is an extremely difficult measurement.
