The geodetic effect represents the effect of the curvature of spacetime, predicted by general relativity, on a spinning, moving body. General relativity or the general theory of relativity is the geometric theory of Gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1916 The Einstein field equations ( EFE) or Einstein's equations are a set of ten equations in Einstein 's theory of General relativity in which the General relativity (GR is a Theory of Gravitation that was developed by Albert Einstein between 1907 and 1915 The mathematics of general relativity refers to various mathematical structures and techniques that are used in studying Albert Einstein 's theory of General The Kepler problem in general relativity involves solving for the motion of two spherical bodies interacting with one another by Gravitation, as described by the theory of A gravitational lens is formed when the light from a very distant bright source (such as a Quasar) is "bent" around a massive object (such as a cluster of In Physics, a gravitational wave is a Fluctuation in the Curvature of Spacetime which propagates as a wave, traveling outward from Albert Einstein 's theory of General relativity predicts that rotating bodies drag Spacetime around themselves in a phenomenon referred to as frame-dragging In General relativity, an event horizon is a boundary in Spacetime, an area surrounding a Black hole or a Wormhole, inside which events cannot A gravitational singularity (sometimes spacetime singularity) is approximately a place where quantities which are used to measure the Gravitational field become A black hole is a theoretical region of space in which the Gravitational field is so powerful that nothing not even Electromagnetic radiation (e SpaceTime is a patent-pending three dimensional graphical user interface that allows end users to search their content such as Google Google Images Yahoo!

Experimental confirmation
The geodetic effect was verified to a precision of better than 1 percent by Gravity Probe B, an experiment which measures the tilting of the spin axis of gyroscopes in orbit about the Earth. Gravity Probe B ( GP-B) is a Satellite -based mission which launched in 2004 A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of Angular momentum. [1] The first results were announced in April 14, 2007 at the meeting of the American Physical Society[2].

The American Physical Society was founded in 1899 and is the World 's second largest organization of physicists behind the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.
