Abstract

The article presents information on gravitomagnetism. To know more about this force, Gravity Probe B, a spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, U.S., is orbiting the Earth for over two years. According to Martin Tajmar, scientist, the force is more powerful than expected and so he is treating the results very cautiously. Gravitomagnetism is not related to magnetic fields. The force is generated by a spinning superconductor and not by any other kind of matter. INSETS: The attraction of gravity;Space-time drags.
