| Abstract |
On April 14, 2007, at a meeting of the American Physical Society in Jacksonville (Florida),
the famous American gyroscopist Francis Everitt reported on the preliminary results of an experiment
on a special artificial Earth satellite with cryogenic gyroscopes. In the experiment, which was started
in August 2005 and completed in August 2006, a gyroscope was used to measure the curvature of
space-time in the vicinity of Earth, which is determined by the distribution of matter due to the basic
postulate of general relativity. In this note, we discuss the difficulties that had to be overcome in preparing this experiment. |
