Two key predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity have been confirmed by NASA's Gravity Probe B mission, scientists announced this week.
"We've completed this landmark experiment testing Einstein's universe, and Einstein survives," principal investigator Francis Everitt, of Stanford University in California, said during a press briefing.
(Also see "Einstein's Gravity Confirmed on a Cosmic Scale.")
Launched in 2004, the Gravity Probe B mission used four ultraprecise gyroscopes—devices used to measure orientation—housed in a satellite to measure two aspects of Einstein's theory about gravity."

Einstein is like the Jesus of physics... and on the 1,917th year (give or take) he said "let there be general relativity"
