Einstein was Right Again

Put a spinning gyroscope into orbit around the Earth, with the spin axis pointed toward some distant star as a fixed reference point. Free from external forces, the gyroscope's axis should continue pointing at the star--forever. But if space is twisted, the direction of the gyroscope's axis should drift over time. By noting this change in direction relative to the star, the twists of space-time could be measured.
Science is cool. 😉

Einstein was right in many ways in his many theories and there are lots of his theories that are used to day. He was seen as a mad man in his time for having a different point of view and beliefs but today he is a legend of all time.
